About this map

The intricate shoreline of Reelfoot Lake dominates this modern topographic study, where the boundary between Lake Co and Obion Co follows the water's edge. The landscape is a complex network of arms, basins, and towheads, such as Eastridge Arm and Carey Towhead, reflecting the unique geography formed by historic seismic activity. To the south, the settlement of Samburg serves as a primary hub, while smaller locales like Walnut Log and Phillippy anchor the northern reaches near Hickory Ridge.

Tracing the topography reveals the transition from the low-lying wetlands of Glover Basin to the rising terrain of Fishgap Hill in the east. Numerous family-named roads and landmarks, including Roneys Store and Crescent Cem, provide essential data for local historians. The presence of Reelfoot Lake Airport and the Grassy Island Trail #2 indicates the area's contemporary role as a center for both aviation and conservation-minded recreation.
