2019 Map of Camden

About this map

Camden serves as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, where the CSX Transportation line and several major roadways converge. The area's history is deeply etched into the terrain through a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Hudson Cem, Lashlee Cem, and the Old Bethlehem Cem near the shores of Kentucky Lake. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed rural settlements like Black Center, Pea Ridge, and Tin Cup, which reflect the region's agricultural and timber-based heritage. To the east, the inundation of the Tennessee River valley is evident, with fingers of the lake reaching into drainages like Cypress Creek and Hawley Creek. This geography created a distinctive shoreline that reshaped local access and industry, while inland features like the Benton County Airport represent more modern infrastructure developments.
