About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the central landscape of this Houston County region, where the broad waters have reshaped the drainage of numerous hollows and creeks. The shoreline is punctuated by local retreats such as Leatherwood Resort, Whites Resort, and Bass Bay Resort, reflecting the area's development for recreation along the Tennessee River. To the north, the Swamp Bank Mines point to the area's industrial past, while more modern infrastructure is evidenced by the Houston County Airport located near Cane Creek.

Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through dozens of burial grounds, including the Cathey Cemetery, Andrews Cemetery, and Grafried Cemetery. The map captures an intricate network of named ridges and hollows like Jack Stable Ridge and Furnace Stack Hollow, alongside crossroads communities at Bullard Point Crossroads and Redbank Hill Crossroads. Navigation across the smaller waterways is still noted by landmarks such as Cinder Ford and the Parker Bridge near the eastern boundary.
