About this map

The Elk River winds through this landscape near the Alabama-Tennessee border, defining the local geography with its broad bends and associated hollows like Smith Hollow and Buzzard Roost Hollow. In the southern portion of the map, the Wheeler Reservoir backwaters meet the river current, surrounding Buck Island and creating the Round Bottom wetlands. A significant mid-century industrial presence is seen at the Elk River Fish Hatchery, situated along the river's south bank near the confluence of Sulphur Creek.
