About this map

Dale Hollow Lake dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its serpentine shoreline reaching into narrow drainages like Holly Creek and Martins Branch. The engineering at Dale Hollow Dam controls the flow into the Obey River, which then winds westward past Walker Bend and Peterman Bend. On the higher ground north of the water, several small crossroads and settlements define the social geography, including Thompsons Store, Ashlock, and Pea Ridge.

Evidence of local heritage and infrastructure is scattered along the winding ridge roads, from Free Hill in the west to the Dale Hollow Fish Hatchery nestled below the dam. Local family history is grounded in labels like Key Cemetery Rd and numerous named hollows such as Johnson Hollow and Dewberry Hollow. Boating access points, including the Cedar Hill Boat Dock and Livingston Boat Dock, highlight the transition of this river valley into a major regional reservoir system.
