About this map

Kentucky Lake and the winding course of the Tennessee River dominate this landscape near the border of Decatur and Perry counties. The town of Parsons sits in the southwest corner, serving as a gateway to the river bottoms and the high ridges that define the local geography. Several prominent landforms overlook the water, including Lady Finger Bluff and Alley Bluff, while the river narrows significantly at the aptly named The Narrows. This topography necessitated large-scale water management projects, evidenced by the Busseltown Dewatering Area and East Perryville Dewatering Area. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from Parsons Cem to the Walker Cem and Jennings Cem. The Alvin C York Bridge provides a vital crossing point, linking the valley's disparate settlements and hollows.
