2019 Map of Ridgely

About this map

Running Reelfoot Bayou and the intricate wetlands of Lake Isom National Wildlife Refuge dominate this landscape on the border of Lake and Obion counties. The map details a unique amphibious environment where land and water merge, featuring distinct aquatic landmarks like Glory Hole, Magic Hole, and Lids Pocket. Cultural history is preserved through a dense concentration of burial grounds, from Davis Chapel Cem in the north to Long Cunningham Cem further south, suggesting a long-standing rural community structure. Small residential clusters such as Sunkist Beach and Blue Bank line the shore, while the town of Ridgely serves as a southern hub. The presence of the Eagle Nest Levee Trail and Tiptonville Obion Levee Rd highlights the local reliance on water management and levee systems to navigate and inhabit this portion of the Reelfoot Lake region.
