2016 Map of Sugar Tree

About this map

Sugar Tree and Cozette anchor this topographic study of the hills and hollows along the Benton and Decatur County line. The landscape is defined by its deep incisions, where features like Stillhouse Hollow, Diggs Hollow, and Blue Hollow run between ridges such as Bumble Bee Ridge and Conrad Ridge. The settlement pattern follows these natural contours, with numerous family and community cemeteries scattered throughout the uplands, including the Flatwoods and Old Morgans Creek cemeteries. In the southern reaches, Kentucky Lake and the drainage of Lick Creek mark the transition toward the Tennessee River valley. This 2016 data illustrates a rural network of roads like John Henry Pratt Road and Sally Baker Road that link isolated homesteads and small church-centered communities within this heavily dissected terrain.
