About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this 2019 survey, illustrating the significant land and water management required in this part of West Tennessee. Large specialized zones like the East Perryville Dewatering Area and the Perryville Dewatering Area reflect the modern engineering used to manage the floodplain. The landscape is deeply incised by countless hollows, including Stillhouse Hollow, Mozier Hollow, and Slabtown Hollow, which speak to the rural residential patterns that have persisted for generations.

Tracing the higher ground reveals several small settlements and community hubs such as Decaturville and Mount Lebanon. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including Furnace Cem near Furnace Hollow and Mount Zion Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's long-established homesteads. The naming of The Coalings suggests earlier local industry, while modern developments like Fisherdale Dr show the transition toward recreational waterfront living near the lake.
