About this map

Tennemo and the surrounding river bottomlands of Lake County appear here in a modern survey that highlights the complex interaction between the Mississippi River and the agricultural landscape of West Tennessee. The geography is defined by a sequence of river landings, including Tennemo Landing, Linwood Landing, and Reelfoot Landing, which point to a long history of water-based commerce and transport along the levee system.

Drainage and flood control are central to the terrain, evidenced by Blue Bank Bayou and Running Reelfoot Bayou winding through the fields near Cottonwood Grove and Owl Hoot. Large-scale river features such as Island Number 16 and the shifting sands of Gore Towhead and Tennemo Bar illustrate the dynamic nature of the state border, where the river's path continues to shape the physical and economic boundaries of the region.
