About this map

Shiloh National Military Park occupies the northwestern corner of this study, where the Confederate Restricted Road and Bark Road mark the grounds of the 1862 battlefield. This 1970s revision shows the riverine landscape of the Tennessee River dominated by the massive Pickwick Landing Dam and the sprawling waters of Kentucky Lake. The intersection of modern infrastructure and rural history is evident near Counce, where a Dragstrip and Switchyard operate alongside family-named landmarks like Beshars Cem and Taylor Cem.

Navigation along the river is documented through various points like Nash Landing and Bellis Dock, while the rugged southern terrain reveals quiet settlements like Damon and Southside. The map captures the industrial character of the Tennessee Valley Authority's impact on the region, from the power facilities at the dam to the established Pickwick Landing State Park, all set against a backdrop of older agrarian features like the Salem Sch and Wesley Chapel.
