About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this landscape along the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, where the submerged history of the Tennessee River valley is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the site of Fort Heiman overlooks the water, positioned across from the drainage of Fort Henry Br. This area is characterized by a dense concentration of cemeteries that survived the flooding of the valley, including Winchester Cem, Stilley Cem, and McCuiston Cem.

The settlement at Hamlin serves as a local hub near the shoreline of Blood River, which is surrounded by modern residential developments like those along Mussel Ln and Ridge Rd. To the east, the wide expanse of the lake is punctuated by landmarks such as McCullochs Bar and Panther Bar, reflecting the altered navigation of the river. This map serves as a vital tool for genealogists, as it meticulously labels dozens of small cemeteries like Lasster Cem and Brigham Cem that dot both the eastern and western shores.
