About this map

Elk River and its major tributary, Shoal Creek, dominate the topography of this Tennessee-Alabama borderlands region as surveyed in the late 1940s and updated in the 1960s. The landscape is defined by the impact of the Tennessee Valley Authority, notably the backwaters of Wheeler Reservoir and the establishment of the Elk River Fish Hatchery near Buck Island. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of various hollows, with family-named landmarks like Gaston Hollow and Horton Hollow providing a sense of historical community boundaries.
