2016 Map of Samburg

About this map

Bayou du Chien and a complex network of arms and pockets define this 2016 survey of the Reelfoot Lake area on the border of Obion and Lake Counties. The landscape is a detailed mosaic of wetlands and ridges, featuring prominent landforms like Hickory Ridge and Fishgap Hill. Small settlements and historic points of interest are scattered throughout the region, including Walnut Log and Spout Springs, while Roneys Store serves as a landmark in the southern reaches. Local family and community history is anchored by Crescent Cem and the Reelfoot Lake Airport near Phillippy. The map also captures several recreational and conservation elements, such as the Grassy Island Loop Trail and various bars and towheads like Fehringer Bar and Snaggy Towhead, illustrating the area's contemporary role as a managed natural environment.
