About this map

Center Hill Lake dominates this 2010 landscape, its waters filling the narrow, winding valleys of the Caney Fork River system. The topography is defined by the complex interface of water and land, where prominent landforms like Stillhouse Point and Young Bend reach into the reservoir. This modern survey illustrates how recreation and tourism have integrated with the traditional rural character of the area, evidenced by the presence of Sligo Dock, Pates Ford Dock, and the Four Seasons Marina alongside numerous legacy family cemeteries.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the distribution of these small burial grounds, including Peeled Chestnut Cemetery, Billings Cemetery, and Vaughn Cemetery, many of which are located on ridges overlooking the flooded valleys. The transport network reflects the area's geography, with the Sligo Bridge providing a critical crossing point for the Old Smithville Highway. Numerous hollows like Quarry Hollow and Big Hollow indicate the deeply dissected nature of the terrain surrounding the lake.
