About this map

Kentucky Lake and the engineered wetlands of the West Sandy Creek Dewatering Area dominate this section of Henry County, illustrating the modern management of the Tennessee River watershed. The landscape is a complex network of drainage ditches and creeks, including Grudge Ditch and the W Sandy Cr Drainage Ditch, which support the low-lying agricultural areas surrounding Old Springville.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites such as Old Ebenezer Cem, Bethesda Cem, and New Bethel Cem. These landmarks, along with small settlements like Sunny Side and Nobles, reveal the enduring rural structure of the region. To the east, the West Sandy Dike separates the managed dewatering zone from the open waters of the lake, while the Antioch Harbor Resort marks the recreational transition along the shoreline near Haigler Ridge.
