About this map

The Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake dominate this landscape along the border of Humphreys and Benton counties. Significant bottomlands define the river's path, including the Upper Big Bottom and Lower Big Bottom, while the Duck River Dewatering Area manages the confluence where the Duck River meets the larger waterway. The topography shifts dramatically from these low-lying bottoms to the intricate hollows and ridges to the east, such as Sinkhole Ridge and Polecat Hollow.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and creek valleys, notably around New Johnsonville and Hustburg. For genealogists, the map is a dense resource of family-named landmarks and resting places, featuring the Pavatt Whitfield Cem, DePriest Cem, and Vanhook Cem. Many smaller communities like Bakerville and Eagle Creek are situated along tributary routes like Eagle Cr and Roberts Cr, reflecting a rural economy tied to the river system and its fertile floodplains.
