1949 Map of Sugar Tree

About this map

The ridge-and-hollow terrain of West Tennessee's Tennessee River valley defines this landscape, where the settlement of Sugar Tree marks a central point between Benton and Decatur counties. Much of the eastern edge is dedicated to the Tenn National Wildlife Refuge along the shores of Kentucky Lake, reflecting a mid-century shift toward federal land management and conservation. Family names are deeply etched into the topography through features like Baugus Cove and numerous hollows such as Barn Hollow and Woods Hollow.
