About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this 2013 landscape, defining the character of the riverfront communities in Houston County. The settlement of McKinnon serves as a focal point near the Houston County Airport, while the surrounding terrain is deeply etched with family-named hollows and ridges that hint at generations of local history. To the north, the junctions at Cotton Patch Crossroads and Bullard Point Crossroads mark the transitions between upland woods and the lake’s many inlets.

Evidence of early industrial activity persists in place names like Furnace Stack Hollow, Cinder Ford, and Brickyard Ridge, suggesting a history of resource extraction and manufacturing long before the current era of recreation. The shoreline is now dotted with landings and docks such as Bass Bay Resort Dock, Southernaire Dock, and Whites Camp Dock, reflecting the modern importance of the lake for transportation and leisure. Scattered across the hills are numerous named hollows, including Lott Hollow and Sullivan Hollow, which provide a detailed map of the local topography.
