About this map

Samburg anchors the southwestern edge of this survey, situated where the shore of Reelfoot Lake meets the surrounding drainage network of Indian Creek. This 2010 depiction reveals a landscape dominated by the complex aquatic ecology of the Reelfoot basin, featuring a dense network of named basins and channels including Yankapin Basin, Mud Basin, and Brewer Basin. The interaction between the open water and the low-lying terrain is evident in the numerous islands and bars, such as Grassy Island, Snaggy Bar, and Carey Towhead.

Lakeside commerce and recreation are represented by local landmarks like Bryants Camp, Straders Boat Dock, and Millers Boat Dock. Further inland, the map traces rural roads such as Mount Manuel Church Rd and Possum Trot Rd, which lead toward Fishgap Hill and the Crescent Cemetery. The presence of the Reelfoot Lake Airport near the northern shore highlights the area's modern infrastructure within this unique wetland environment.
