About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this mid-century landscape, split between Henry and Stewart counties. The creation of the reservoir transformed the local topography, which is evidenced by the numerous hollows such as Bunch Hollow and Wofford Hollow that now meet the water's edge. The area of Paris Landing State Park and the nearby U S Coast Guard Base mark the crossing point of the Austin Peay Memorial Highway via the Scott Fitzhugh Bridge.

Family history is preserved through dozens of small cemeteries like Scarborough Cem, Rafferee Cem, and Coleman Cem, many of which sit on high ground overlooking the water. To the south, the Tennessee National Migratory Wildlife Refuge encompasses islands and peninsulas like Pace Point, while the eastern shore includes the Land Between the Lakes Boundary. Smaller settlements such as Buchanan Landing and Antioch Landing are located along the western banks.
