About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this Tennessee River valley terrain, where the water's edge is defined by a series of historic landings and distinctive river features like Suck Bar and Duck River Bar. The map details a network of rural roads that connect family-named hollows and cemeteries, such as Stillhouse Hollow, Ayres Hollow, and Peebles Cemetery, reflecting a long history of local settlement and community lineage.

Recreational and community land use is evident through the presence of the West Tennessee Boy Scout Camp and the Young Farmers and Homemakers Camp near the shoreline. Elevated points like Tie Hill and the Russell Field Lookout Tower provide orientation overlooking the complex drainage of Birdsong Creek and Eagle Creek. For the local historian, the distribution of nearly twenty burial grounds, including the Caney Fork Cemetery and Shiloh Cemetery, provides a significant record of the families that have inhabited this river-front region.
