About this map

The Tennessee River creates a massive, serpentine loop around Raccoon Mountain, defining the rugged topography of this river-and-ridge landscape in the early 1940s. The waterway is dominated by the Hales Bar Reservoir, which flooded several historic river hazards known locally as The Suck, The Pot, and The Pan. The presence of Kellys Ferry and the Lee Highway indicate the primary transportation corridors through this difficult terrain, while family-named landmarks like Alex McNabb Hicks Gap and Massengale Pt suggest deep ancestral ties to the land.
