About this map

The Tennessee River and Duck River converge in this riverine landscape, where the seasonal management of the water is central to the area's geography. The Duck River Dewatering Area occupies a significant portion of the river's bend, while extensive bottomlands like Upper Big Bottom and Lower Big Bottom dictate the placement of roads and homesteads. High ground is found at Sinkhole Ridge, providing a reprieve from the frequently inundated wetlands and drains such as Clear Lake Drain.

Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through a high density of small burial grounds. Genealogists can locate Estes Cemetery, Chappell Cemetery, Crockett Cemetery, and Morris Cemetery among many others. The local economy and transport are represented by numerous river access points, including Byrds Landing, Cow Gap Landing, and Lees Point Landing, which served as vital connections for the communities living along Eagle Creek and Opossum Creek.
