About this map

The sprawling waters of Dale Hollow Lake define the southern landscape of this 2016 survey along the Kentucky-Tennessee border. Numerous inlets and coves, such as Jackson Hollow and Bend Hollow, highlight the complex shoreline created by the damming of the Obey River. North of the water, the terrain transitions into the high ridges and deep hollows of Cumberland and Clinton Counties. Long-established communities like Frogue, Green Grove, and Hegira are connected by a network of winding roads, including Old Frogue-Albany Rd and Midway Church Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Vincent Cem, Grace Cem, and Long Cem. These features, alongside named terrain like John Bow Hollow and Storehouse Hollow, provide a detailed record of land ownership and settlement patterns in this part of the Pennyroyal Plateau. The northern edge is bounded by the Cumberland River at Herefords Bend, illustrating the importance of both natural and man-made waterways to the region's geography.
