About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this landscape, where the waters of the Harmon Creek and Little Richland Creek drain through a complex network of hollows. The terrain is defined by its deep incisions and prominent ridges such as Highstand Ridge and Lathen Hill. Settlement patterns are distinctly rural, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds including Union Chapel Cem, Old Farmer Cem, and Wheatley Cem that are scattered across the heights overlooking the river valley.

Modern residential development is visible along the shoreline at Richland Harbor and near Ivy Point, where roads like Trails Inn Village Rd and Harbor View Ln indicate the area's transition toward recreational use. This survey captures the intricate balance between the natural drainage of features like Thompson Slough and the infrastructure serving local inhabitants, providing a clear view of the area's geography at the start of the 2020s.
