About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its expansive waters meeting the deeply dissected terrain of Houston and Stewart Counties. The settlement of McKinnon serves as a central hub near the Houston County Airport, while the smaller community of Cotton Patch Crossroads sits further north. The map is heavily marked by familial history, preserved in numerous burial sites such as Cane Creek Cem, Mathis Cem, and Bomar Hill Cem.

Along the rugged shoreline, features like Bass Bay and the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge illustrate the region's focus on conservation and water-based geography. Names such as Furnace Stack Hollow and Brickyard Ridge hint at a history of local industry and resource extraction. The presence of Ferry Rd and several bridges, including Parker Bridge, highlights the ongoing importance of managing transportation across the numerous creeks and inlets feeding the lake.
