About this map

The Tennessee River and the expansive waters of Kentucky Lake dominate the landscape of Humphreys County, illustrating the significant hydrological management of the region. This topography reveals the juxtaposition of historic settlements like Johnsonville and Denver against the engineered environment of the Duck River Dewatering Area near the confluence with the Duck River. The land is deeply dissected by numerous hollows, such as Sayre Hollow and Gould Hollow, which provide a glimpse into the localized geography that defined early Tennessee homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including the Winfrey Cem, Crockett Cem, and Napier Cem, scattered across the ridges and along the water's edge. The presence of the Railroad Trl and various nature paths, such as the Alex Kephart Nature Trl, reflects the transition of old industrial and transport corridors into modern recreational use. Near New Johnsonville, the transition from historical river-based economy to contemporary infrastructure is marked by features like the Conalco Plant Rd and the Duck River Dewatering Area.
