2016 Map of Johnson Hollow

About this map

The Kentucky Tennessee border defines the lower section of this topographic landscape, where the wooded drainages of Trigg and Stewart counties converge. Family history is well-represented across the terrain by several small burial grounds, including Moore Cem, Lancaster Cem, and Hunter Cem, which serve as markers of the area's rural heritage. The namesake Johnson Hollow is joined by other local settlements like Summer Hollow and Cheatam Hollow, tucked into the valleys of a highly dissected plateau. A complex network of local routes, such as Old Dover Rd and Skinner Creek Rd, follows the winding paths of seasonal waterways like Skinner Cr and Dry Cr. This road pattern reveals a community structure dictated by the ridge-and-valley topography, where movement remains concentrated along the natural breaks of the land.
