2016 Map of Hustburg

About this map

Kentucky Lake and the meandering course of the Tennessee River dominate this landscape on the border of Humphreys and Benton counties. The modern town of New Johnsonville sits at the northern edge, while the older settlement of Hustburg anchors the central agricultural plains. The eastern terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and bottoms, including Swader Hollow and Sycamore Bottom, which descend toward the river. This 2016 survey illustrates the heavy management of the local watershed, prominently featuring the Duck River Dewatering Area and the industrial Foote-Mineral Company Tailings Pond. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family burial grounds scattered throughout the ridges and valleys, such as DePriest Cem, Crockett Cem, and Eagle Creek Cem, providing a clear record of long-established local lineages in the rural countryside around Bakerville.
