About this map

Milledgeville and the surrounding rural communities of McNairy County are defined by a complex network of waterways and agricultural drainage projects shown in this 2013 study. The landscape is heavily altered by extensive engineering, visible in the straight lines of the White Oak Creek Canal, Hurricane Creek Canal, and Mud Creek Canal. These man-made channels were designed to manage the bottomlands where the Salt River and various forks of Mud Creek converge, facilitating the region's long-standing farming tradition.

Away from the central drainage basins, smaller settlements like Morris Chapel and Bethlehem anchor the local road network. The map captures the eastern edge of the quadrangle where the land meets the waters of Kentucky Lake, featuring distinct landmarks such as Chalk Bluff and the low-lying reaches of Hardin Slough. For those researching local families, the presence of names like Hardin Graveyard Rd and Rock Spring provides specific points of interest within this managed riparian environment.
