SIDESCAN Series
Big Sandy South Sidescan
Kentucky Lake (Tennessee)

This series of sidescan imagery covers just over 4,000 acres of the Big Sandy Embayment. The distance from north to south represented in color below is approximately 6.5 miles.

An unbelievable amount of structural features are readily apparent. Use these
images to program your GPS and go right to an ideal spot!

The set includes 28 Extreme resolution sidescan images, 5 Index topo
maps, 1 Master Index map (shown below), and a clip of TVA chart 113.

Here is the Master Index map* for the new series. There are 5 major sections divided into a total of 28 extreme resolution sidescan maps.

This area includes the original topo coverage of the Big Sandy South set, plus an additional 2200 acres.

The total acreage of the area in color represents approximately 4000 acres.

* Image resolution reduced to minimize download time.

There are individual index maps for each Section. They are very useful for staying oriented in the extreme zoom levels of the Sidescan images, not to mention the topography.

This a zoomed out view of Sidescan section 1E. The sidescan information is not useable at this range, but this may help orient you to the full resolution example below.

This is a near full resolution sample of Section 1E. It is roughly 0.8 mile east/northeast of the mouth of swamp creek.

This is an intersection of a manmade ditch with the original valley of swamp creek drainage.

Keep in mind, this is just a small portion of Section 1E.

The same area to the left is depicted on the index map below.

The contour interval on all sidescan imagery is either 0.5 or 1.0 foot!

Here is a full resolution sample of the index map showing a portion of Section 1E. The area outlined in red is the same area of coverage as the Sidescan image above.

The contour interval on the Section Index maps is 1.0 foot.

Other items included on the CD

A clip of the TVA navigation chart 113 that includes the project area.

A very functional shareware version of OziExplorer GPS Mapping software is provided on disk to get you started with precision fishing. The HydroGrafx images work flawlessly with this version.
