2016 Map of Poplar Creek

About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the western edge of this 2016 survey, where the waters of the Tennessee River meet the rolling hills of Henry and Benton counties. The landscape is defined by the numerous inlets and hollows created by the reservoir, including McSwain Hollow and the drainage of Poplar Cr. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds such as Liberty Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Pleasant Ridge Cem, reflecting a long-established rural population. Residential growth is evident at Lakeview Manor in the southwest, while the small settlement of Faxon sits near the southern boundary. Infrastructure like the Big Sandy Airpark and the road network around Lick Creek shows the modern layout of these lakeside communities. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from wooded ridges to the expansive shoreline of the lake.
