About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the western edge of this landscape, its shoreline dotted with access points like Brownsport Landing, Cedar Creek Landing, and Kellys Landing. The interior is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, reflecting the traditional nomenclature of the region with family-named features such as Henson Hollow, Tracey Hollow, and Shipman Hollow. The Gumdale Dewatering Area sits adjacent to the lake, marking a managed transition between the Tennessee River valley and the higher ground to the east.

Transportation patterns center on small communities like Pope, Gumdale, and Horner. The industrial history of the area is hinted at by features like Orebank Hollow and Furnace Br, while the Perry County Airport occupies the northeastern plateau. Numerous springs and creeks, including Cypress Cr and Fluty Spring, provide the drainage that carved this intricate topography of the Western Highland Rim.
