About this map

The boundary between Houston and Humphreys Counties cuts through a landscape defined by deep ridges and narrow hollows just east of Kentucky Lake. Small settlements like Concord and Halls Creek are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the drainage of Whiteoak Creek and Big Richland Creek. The map is particularly rich in family-named landmarks and cemeteries, reflecting generations of local history in places like Miller Cem, Beecham Cem, and Knight Cem.

A notable pattern of local industry and social life is evident in features such as Coalpit Hollow, Sugar Camp Hollow, and Meetinghouse Hollow, indicating areas once utilized for charcoal production, maple syrup harvesting, and community gatherings. Fords and crossings like Collins Ford Bridge and Grice Ford Bridge mark established routes over the local waterways, while the rugged terrain is further punctuated by prominent features like Rushing Bluff and Chestnut Ridge.
