2020 Map of Cherokee

About this map

Cherokee serves as the primary southern anchor of this landscape, situated along the Old Lee Hwy and a rail line corridor. The terrain is defined by the broad waters of Pickwick Lake, which separates Colbert and Lauderdale counties and surrounds Kogers Island. Movement through the region is dominated by the Natchez Trace Pkwy, including the significant Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge crossing the river. This modern survey reveals a countryside dense with family and community history, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Thompson Cem, Malone Cem, and Good Hope Cem near Smithsonia. The land is dissected by complex drainage systems like Malone Cr and Colbert Cr, while smaller settlements such as Lane Springs and Georgetown are tucked into the valleys and hollows north of the main highway.
