  • Marshall Counties
    THE POST OFFICES OF MARSHALL COUNTY, KENTUCKY Marshall County with its 304 square miles and 27,200 residents lies in the heart of a major agricultural and tourist area of western Kentucky. It is the northeasternmost of Kentucky's Jackson Purchase counties. Benton, its somewhat centrally located seat and trade center, is 160 miles southwest of downtown Louisville and. twenty six mil es southeast of Paducah on the Ohio River. The county is drained exclusively by the streams of the Tennessee River system . The main stream itself forms its northern boundary while Kentucky Lake, an impoundment of that river and one of the largest man­ 1 made lakes east of the Mississippi, forms its eastern boundary. The principal Tennessee River tributaries: Jonathan , Bea, Bear, Cypress, and Little Cypress Creeks, and the Forks of Clarks River are the major streams of Marshall County. The East Fork of Cl arks, which drains most of the western two-thirds of the county, joins the West Fork in McCracken County, some twelve miles from the Tennessee. Several miles of the West Fork flow through the southwestern section of the county. The Clarks' main branches: Wades, Beaver Dam, Middle Fork, and Elender Creeks (East Fork) and Duncans , Soldier, and Sugar Creeks (West Fork) are used as locational reference points in Marshall County. The Jackson Purchase section of Kentucky (roughly 2400 square miles) is that part of the state west of the Tennessee River which Andrew Jackson purchased in 1818 from the Chickasaw Indians. Until 1821 this territory was technically a part of Caldwell County. It became Hickman County in 1821 bu~theI following year the eastern third of the area became Calloway County with its seat at centrall y located Wadesborough .

  • 2016 Annual Report
    2016 Annual Report Jackson Purchase Resource Conservation and Development Foundation, Inc. Kentucky 1 Cover photo by Glen Hall, Glen Hall Photography 2 Introduction History of Jackson Purchase RC&D Foundation During the fall of 1994, a steering committee was formed to investigate the possibility of forming a Resource Conservation and De- velopment Area in the eight western most counties of Kentucky. The committee, with assistance from the Soil Conservation Ser- vice and the Lower Mississippi Delta Development Center, organized working sessions of the interested parties. After only three meetings, the consensus was to proceed with the official organizational activities. The nonprofit Corporation was formed December 2, 1994. The initial Board of Directors was established and they decided to ap- ply to the Internal Revenue Service for nonprofit status. This status, 501(c)(3), was awarded by the IRS in April of 1995. Project ac- tivities began when the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (then the Soil Conser- vation Service) assigned a RC&D Coordinator to assist the Foundation in its natural resource conservation efforts and rural devel- opment activities in October of 1995. The Secretary of Agriculture designated the Jackson Purchase to be authorized an RC&D Area in March of 1998, the 299th such designation. There are currently 375 designated RC&D areas. The Jackson Purchase RC&D Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit, non-governmental corporation serving the Kentucky counties of Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Marshall, and McCracken. In 2011, the RC&D program was removed from the federal budget due to lack of funding.

  • Marrowbone Creek State Forest a Wealth of Resources by Lynn Brammer
    Marrowbone Creek State Forest A Wealth of Resources by Lynn Brammer Marrowbone Creek State Forest recently became Kentucky’s seventh state forest. The newly acquired property is located on the Metcalfe and Cumberland county line and is centrally located to other natural areas including Mammoth Cave National Park, Green River Lake State Park, Lake Cumberland State Park, Dale Hollow Lake State Park and Barren River Lake State Park. Visitors to the forest will find a wide variety of habitats that support diverse plant and animal communities. The tract is located in a transitional area and has a diversity of forest types. Tree species that are typical of mixed-meso- phytic forests, including oak, hickory, elm, walnut, tulip poplar, white pine, and hemlock are common to the area. The variety of habitats—from grasslands to early-successional woods to mature forests—provide forage and nesting sites for many bird species including wild turkey, ruffed grouse, red-cockaded woodpeckers and broad-winged hawks. Neotropical songbirds likewise benefit from the different successional stages of the forest and are prevalent in the area. The property also contains over nine miles of tributaries in the Green River and Cumberland River watersheds. Riparian areas, the buffer zones along these watersheds, are critical to the survival of many species located in this area. The Green River watershed is the fourth most biologically diverse aquatic ecosystem in the United States and is home to 151 species of fish and 71 species of mussels. The presence of two federally-endangered bats, the Indiana bat and the gray bat, add further significance to this property and the need for conservation and proper management.

  • The Civil War in Murray, Calloway County, Kentucky
    --' Strictures on CampbelHsm. Lexington: William M. Todd and Thomas T. Skillman at the Western Lyminary Press, 1833. The Civil War in Murray, Calloway County, Kentucky --' Unitarianism Unmasked' Its Anti-Christian Features Displayed' Its Infidel Tendency Exhibited' And Its Foundation Shown To Be Untenable: In A Reply To Barton W Stone's Letters To The Rev Dr Robert W. Caldwell a!v1he.. Lexington: Thomas T. Skillman, 1825. Moreland, John R. To The Members of Mt Pleasant Church. n.p., n.p., 1821 . The 125th anniversary of General Robert Edward Lee 's surrender at Appo­ mattox, on April 9, 1990, will be one of the last important anniversaries of the Civil (believed to have been printed at Cynthiana, Kentucky) War. All the famous battles, Gettysburg, ShilOh, etc., have been remembered by memorial events, and reenactments. But scant attention has been paid to the small towns away from strategic areas. The scope of the Civil War was so broad that even people in Murray were NOTE: adversely affected by it. The same kind of depredations that are going on in such places as Haiti, or Nicaragua today were happening in the back yards of Murray residents 125 years ago.
