2016 Map of Pickwick

About this map

Pickwick Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the center of this landscape, where the Tennessee-Alabama state line meets the boundary between Hardin County and Lauderdale County. The terrain is marked by numerous deeply cut hollows, including Tanyard Hollow, Fisher Hollow, and McKelvey Hollow, which drain into the reservoir's fingers. Settlement patterns are concentrated in residential developments like Holiday Hills and Winn Springs on the lake's western shore. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the ridges, from the Shanghai Cemeteries in the southwest to the Burnt Stand Cem and Ross Cem further north. Distinctive landmarks such as Pyburn Bluff and Turkey Knob rise above the water, while smaller features like Rainbow Falls and Sulphur Spring indicate the complex hydrology of the Tennessee Valley region.
