2016 Map of Harmon Creek

About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this Tennessee landscape where the borders of Benton, Houston, and Humphreys counties meet. The flooded valley created by the damming of the Tennessee River has transformed the local geography into a complex network of inlets and peninsulas, including Richland Harbor and the expansive Green Botton Bar. Inland, the terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows and ridges such as Highstand Ridge and Lathen Hill. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its density of small, family-named burial grounds. Significant sites like Union Chapel Cem, Si Melton Cem, and Rushing Cem are preserved among the ridges, while features like Dodds Landing Rd and Harmon Dock Rd trace the persistent connection between these upland communities and the water's edge.
