1949 Map of Harmon Creek

About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the landscape of this 1949 survey, where the recently flooded valley of the Tennessee River reshaped the geography of Benton, Houston, and Humphreys counties. The map documents the early years of the reservoir's impact, showing transitional shoreline features like the White Oak Creek Cabin Site Area and Harmon Creek Boat Dock. Away from the water, the terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems including Sulphur Creek, Turkey Creek, and Big Richland Creek.
