About this map

The Tennessee River defines the western edge of this landscape, where the Gumdale Dewatering Area and multiple historic river access points like Brownsport Landing and Kellys Landing speak to a long-standing relationship with the water. The interior is characterized by a dense network of named hollows and creek drainages, including Cypress Creek, Cedar Creek, and Marsh Creek. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Gobelet Cemetery, Simmons Cemetery, and Richardson Cemetery. Industry and infrastructure are marked by the Perry County Airport in the northeast and the Cedar Creek Dock along the riverfront. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Halabough Bottom to elevated landmarks like Horses Head, with a complex system of rural routes including Swindle Creek Rd and New Era Landing Rd connecting these isolated settlements and family homesteads.
