About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this 2013 survey of the Tennessee-Kentucky borderlands, where the broad waters of the Tennessee River meet a landscape defined by deep ravines and shoreline resorts. The Scott Fitzhugh Bridge serves as the primary artery connecting the western bank at Paris Landing to the eastern shores. This area is a significant recreation hub, illustrated by the density of facilities such as the Paris Landing Marina, Cypress Bay Resort, and the Reelfoot Girl Scout Council Camp.

Further inland, the terrain breaks into numerous named hollows, such as Graveyard Hollow and Rattlesnake Hollow, suggesting a long history of local naming conventions tied to the sharp relief of the land. Small communities and subdivisions like Liberty, Oak Hill, and Riverwood Hills line the western inlets, while the eastern side near Piney Campground remains dominated by timbered ridges and drainage systems like Standing Rock Cr. The presence of sites like Dover Landing and Antioch Landing speaks to the region's enduring connection to the water.
