About this map

Butlers Landing and the winding waters of the Cordell Hull Reservoir define this riverine landscape in Clay County. The Cumberland River's historical path is traced through several distinct bottomlands and islands, including Plumlee Bottom, Tinsley Bottom, and the large Turkey Creek Island. These alluvial plains are flanked by dramatic elevation changes at Seven Sisters Bluff and Wpa Bluff, illustrating the transition from the river basin to the surrounding ridges. Rural life is anchored by a network of family-named cemeteries and small settlements like New Hope and the Baptist Ridge community.

Transportation follows the contours of the terrain, with routes like Tinsley Bottom Rd and Dry Mill Rd connecting the upland ridges to the river valley. The map is a vital resource for tracing genealogy through burial sites such as the Pigg Cemetery, Lynn Cemetery, and Turkeytown Cemetery. From the shoals of Rose Bar to the heights of Turkeytown Ridge, the survey provides a detailed view of the interaction between the watershed and the established local road system.
