About this map

Center Hill Lake dominates this portion of the Caney Fork river system, where the reservoir's fingers reach deep into hollows like Ragland Hollow and Copper Cave Hollow. The map reveals a landscape defined by its riparian geometry, with named bends such as Young Bend, Adcock Bend, and Allen Bend marking the winding course of the river before and after the impoundment.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here given the density of family-named burial sites including Petty Cem, Lander Cem, and Tompkins Cem. Inland from the water, small communities like Peeled Chestnut and Johnsons Chapel serve as anchor points for the rural road network. The boundary between DeKalb and White Counties follows the natural center of the waterway, bisecting a terrain of prominent ridges like Johnson Ridge and Hopper Ridge.
