About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this landscape, creating a complex network of inlets and harbors where Benton, Houston, and Humphreys counties meet. The flooded topography has transformed former valleys into significant water bodies like Richland Harbor, while leaving prominent heights such as Highstand Ridge and High Place as overlook points. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its narrow hollows and numerous family-named cemeteries that speak to the long-standing community roots along the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the ridges, including the Si Melton, Rushing, and Union Chapel cemeteries. The shoreline is marked by distinctive features such as White Oak Bar and Green Bottom Bar, while the interior terrain is deeply dissected by drainages like Halls Valley Br and Harmon Cr, reflecting the traditional land use patterns of Middle Tennessee river valleys.
