About this map

Cooks Landing and the broader waters of Pickwick Lake dominate this tri-state borderland where Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee meet. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the Tennessee River and its varied shoreline access points, including Thomas Landing, Johnny Landing, and Robinson Landing. The presence of the Yellow Creek State Inland Port highlights the importance of the river as a contemporary industrial and logistical artery.

Beyond the water, the terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations and creek-carved hollows. Peaks such as Bee Mountain, Bonds Mountain, and Potato Hill overlook a landscape dotted with local family history, preserved in sites like Beall Cem, Patrick Cem, and Camp Ground Cem. The map traces numerous rural connections, from the Red Sulphur Springs Cabin Area in the north to the Steam Mill Hollow region in the south, reflecting a legacy of small-scale settlement and recreational river life.
