About this map

Dale Hollow Dam and the expansive waters of Dale Hollow Lake dominate this 2016 survey of Clay County, Tennessee, and the Kentucky border. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the deep river valleys and high ridges like Star Ridge and Swann Ridge. The Obey River winds through dramatic turns at Walker Bend and Peterman Bend just south of Celina, a settlement where the local road network converges.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the rural uplands, with family burial grounds such as Thompson Cem, Fitzgerald Cem, and Key Cem marking the hilltops. Small rural hubs like Thompsons Store and Neely Crossroads represent the enduring community centers of the region. The map also captures the varied topography of the many hollows, including Barksdale Hollow and Hamilton Hollow, which provide a detailed look at the drainage patterns flowing toward the reservoir.
