2022 Map of Paris Landing

About this map

The Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake dominate this survey at the border of Kentucky and Tennessee, where the Big Sandy River joins the main channel. This landscape is defined by the extensive waters and the numerous named hollows that cut into the eastern shoreline, such as Mullins Hollow and Coaling Hollow. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting dozens of family and community burial grounds including the Old Moody Cem, Buck Williams Cem, and Largent Cem. The area around Oak Hill serves as a central point of settlement west of the water, while the eastern side is heavily shaped by the boundaries of the Fort Donelson National Battlefield and the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge. Traces of older transport routes like the Old Paris Landing Rd remain visible alongside modern corridors like Donelson Pkwy.
