About this map

The Tennessee River corridor in Jackson County is defined here by the rising waters of Guntersville Lake and the industrial evolution of the shoreline. While the settlement of Hollywood sits inland along the Southern Railway, the riverbank itself shows significant modification, most notably the site of the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant listed as under construction. This energy infrastructure contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and rural landscape, where family heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Sarratt Cem and Gant Cem.

Navigation and transit are central to the area's layout, from the Comer Bridge spanning the water to the older river-crossing landmarks like Hales Ferry Gap. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Town Creek and Mud Creek to the high points of Backbone Ridge and The Pinnacle. Cultural centers are marked by country churches, including Bethany Ch and New Herman Church, alongside recreational sites like Camp Jackson.
