About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the central corridor of this Western Tennessee landscape, where the waters of the Tennessee River divide Benton, Decatur, Humphreys, and Perry Counties. The shoreline is characterized by numerous inlets and bays, including Marina Cove, Pond Gut, and the mouth of Crooked Cr. Inland, the terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of hollows named for local families and landmarks, such as McGruder Hollow, Stout Hollow, and Pigpen Hollow.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of small burial grounds throughout these hills, such as Britts Chapel Cem, Griggs Cem, and Townsend Cem. Small community centers like Daniels Landing and Blue Sky serve as focal points in a region primarily defined by its riparian geography and winding country roads like Old Hickory Dr and Cotham Town Ln. The northern edge of the map is intersected by Interstate 40, providing a modern transit contrast to the traditional riverfront and woodland character of the area.
