About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this landscape along the Tennessee-Kentucky border, where the wide waters of the Tennessee River meet a shoreline defined by numerous docks, marinas, and residential developments. The area's recreational and residential character is evident in the cluster of waterfront sites such as Paris Landing Marina, Cypress Bay Resort, and the Reelfoot Girl Scout Council Camp. Residential growth is mapped through several named neighborhoods, including Mills Subdivision, Durham Subdivision, and Oak Haven Acres, reflecting the 21st-century shift toward lakeside living and seasonal tourism.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the inland ridges. Dozens of sites like Moody Cemetery, Chilcutt Cemetery, and the Rutland Cemetery remain preserved even as the surrounding landscape has evolved. The Scott Fitzhugh Bridge serves as a vital transit link across the water, connecting the western settlements like Oak Hill and Liberty to the eastern shores near Dover Landing and the intricate network of hollows like Mint Spring Hollow and Coaling Hollow.
