About this map

Douglas Lake dominates this East Tennessee landscape, its intricate shoreline creating numerous points and coves across the Jefferson and Sevier county line. The impounded waters surround Henderson Island and cover former river features like Cawoods Shoal and Alley Ford Shoals. Settlement patterns are defined by small communities and family landmarks, with numerous churchyards and burial grounds such as Hills Union Cem, Parrotts Chapel Cem, and Swann Cem serving as focal points for local history.

South of the lake, the terrain transitions into a series of ridges and hollows, including Black Oak Ridge and the elevations of English Mtn. The rural character of the area is maintained through small clusters like Fair Garden and Walnut Grove, where drainage from Hettie Cr and Flat Cr flows toward the reservoir. Distinctive landforms like The Sink and named hollows such as Boat Gunnel Hollow illustrate the varied topography that has shaped agriculture and transport in this region.
