About this map

The Kentucky Lake shoreline defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the wide waters of the Tennessee River meet the rolling terrain of Benton County. A dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Ford Cem, Shiloh Cem, and the remote Baker Cem, reflects generations of settlement across the ridges and hollows. Small communities like Chalklevel, Mount Moriah, and Coxburg are linked by winding roads that often follow the natural contours of the land, such as Hauk Hatley Br and Birdsong Creek.

The presence of the Old Natchez Trace Trl in the northwest corner highlights the area's deep connection to early transit, while modern recreational developments at Birdsong Heights and near Trotters Lndg demonstrate how the creation of the reservoir transformed the local economy. From the river bars at Suck Bar to the lowlands of Chaseville, this survey preserves the intricate details of a rural Tennessee riverfront in the mid-2010s.
