2019 Map of Poplar Creek

About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the western shoreline of this map, reflecting the altered geography of the Tennessee River valley following mid-century damming. The area is defined by a series of long, finger-like inlets such as Poplar Creek and Bennetts Creek that carve into the high ground of Henry County. Modern developments like Lakeview Manor and Antioch Harbor Resort occupy the waterfront, while the interior remains dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Bond-Limekiln Cem and Mount Zion Cem. This proximity of recreational leisure to deep-rooted ancestral sites illustrates the layered history of the shoreline. To the east, the terrain transitions into a more secluded landscape characterized by McSwain Hollow and Homer Hollow, while the Big Sandy Airpark serves as a small aviation hub for the surrounding rural communities.
