About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this 2016 study of the Tennessee-Kentucky border, where the Scott Fitzhugh Bridge connects the developed western shore at Paris Landing to the protected peninsula of the Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. The landscape is a mix of contemporary residential subdivisions like Oak Hill and deeply rooted rural history, evidenced by an exceptionally high density of family burial grounds.

Genealogists can trace dozens of small cemeteries including New Liberty Cem, Ratteree Cem, and Chilcutt Cem, which pepper the hills surrounding Swan Bay and Cypress Cr. To the north, the map includes the southern portion of the Fort Donelson National Battlefield, while the eastern shore is defined by numerous named hollows such as Mint Spring Hollow and Crutcher Hollow, reflecting a rugged topography that remains largely undeveloped within the national recreation area.
