About this map

Kentucky Lake dominates this landscape where the Blood River and numerous creeks flow into the vast reservoir. Near the settlement of Boatwright, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, such as Kirk Ridge and Hooper Hollow, which reflect the complex shoreline of the Land Between the Lakes area. The map illustrates a contemporary recreational and residential landscape, featuring sites like the Rushing Creek Campground and Ginger Ridge Back Country Camp alongside a network of local roads.

Genealogists may find value in the specific road names that hint at family landholdings, such as Haynes Cemetery Rd and Hooper Cemetery Rd. The presence of Laura Furnace Cr points to the region's industrial heritage, while geographic features like Blood River Bar and Cedar Bluff highlight the natural contours of the Tennessee River valley. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the modern infrastructure supporting both local residents and visitors to Rushing Bay.
