About this map

Douglas Lake dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline creating a complex network of points and shoals such as Dentons Shoals and Alley Ford Shoals. The irregular waters trace the valleys between high points like Tater Knob and Henderson Island, reflecting the dramatic topographical changes caused by the impoundment of the French Broad River. Along the southern banks, the terrain rises toward the foothills of English Mtn, carved by numerous hollows including Boat Gunnel Hollow and Happy Hollow.

Local history is deeply rooted in the small settlements and religious centers that dot the ridges. Communities such as Fair Garden and Walnut Grove serve as anchors for the rural population, while several historic houses of worship, including Shady Grove Ch and Parrotts Chapel Ch, are preserved alongside their respective cemeteries. The map provides a detailed record of family-named landmarks like Patterson Hollow and Sims Cemetery, offering a clear view of the area's cultural geography where Jefferson and Sevier counties meet.
