About this map

The town of Cherokee anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated south of the sprawling waters of Pickwick Lake. This reach of the Tennessee River is characterized by broad inundation and the large, central Kogers Island. Movement through the region is defined by the Natchez Trace Parkway, which crosses the water at the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge, connecting the shores of Colbert and Lauderdale counties.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the area, including Cherokee Cem, Rutland Cem, Smith Cem, and Malone Cem. Smaller settlements and locales such as Georgetown, Smithsonia, and Prairie Bottom are preserved alongside natural landmarks like Coon Hollow and Sellers Hollow. Numerous tributaries, including Colbert Cr and Malone Cr, drain the terrain as it rises from the riverbanks.
