This is a scan of the NGS Eddyville Quadrangle with Dycusburg
at the bottom left. The red square is the location of the cabin and the
blue square represents the cemetery.
Pinkneyville is about
2 miles to the south and west of this location. Pinkneyville
is the birthplace of Duke Harrison Burklow and residence of James Thomas
Burklow. This generation of Burklow's lived in that area in the late 1800s
through the early 1900s. The map shows an unimproved road going toward
the river and on to Pinkneyville. Evidence of this road was still visible
during my visit in the 1990s
