2010 Map of Shady Grove

About this map

Douglas Lake dominates the northern half of this landscape, its intricate shoreline creating numerous inlets and points such as Inspiration Point and Henderson Island. The map reflects a region where water recreation and residential growth coexist with deep-rooted rural foundations. Along the southern corridor, the Old Newport Hwy links the community of Fair Garden to the surrounding hills. This area is characterized by a dense distribution of family and community cemeteries, including the Hills Union Cemetery, Stafford Cemetery, and Swann Cemetery, indicating long-standing genealogical ties to the land. The topography is defined by a series of hollows like Patterson Hollow and Boat Gunnel Hollow, while the drainage network of Hettie Creek and Flat Creek flows toward the lake. Navigation and access are highlighted by several landings and docks, such as Shady Grove Dock and Mountain View Dock, serving the various campgrounds and waterfront developments.
