About this map

Kentucky Lake defines the western edge of this Tennessee landscape, where the waters of the Tennessee River meet a complex network of hollows and ridges. The small settlement of Pine View sits centrally, surrounded by numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions that suggest a deeply rooted community. Evidence of local education and faith are scattered throughout the hills, including Nathan Sch, Union Ch, and Dixon Ch.

A network of underground pipelines cuts across the terrain, reflecting the mid-century industrial infrastructure developing alongside more traditional land uses. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites such as Bible Hill Cem, Clayborne Cem, and Strickland Cem, often located near the winding courses of Lick Creek and its many tributaries. The map's detailed topography reveals the reliance on natural drainages like Toms Creek and Spring Creek for both transport and settlement placement during this era of Tennessee Valley development.
