USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Benton serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of several branches of the East Fork Clarks River. To the northeast, the massive impoundment of Kentucky Lake and the engineering of the Kentucky Dam mark a landscape transformed by the U.S. Tennessee Valley Authority. The map details a transition from the river-bottom agriculture and timber of Steam Mill Bend to the developing recreational infrastructure at Kentucky Dam Village State Park.
