About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this landscape along the border of Houston, Stewart, Benton, and Henry Counties. The settlement of McKinnon serves as a central hub, situated where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the water. The geography is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Biggins Hollow, Bush Hollow, and Outlaw Hollow, which drain into the main river channel.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Cathey Cem, Mathis Cem, and Wilson Cem. Infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through the Houston County Landing Strip and the Whiteoak Boat Dock on Whiteoak Creek. The map also captures the Tennessee National Migratory Wildlife Refuge and the Kentucky Reservation, reflecting the extensive federal land management in this river valley during the postwar era.
