USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Dale Hollow Lake dominates this landscape, its fingers reaching deep into the hollows of Pickett and Overton Counties. Created by the damming of the Obey River, the reservoir surrounds high ridges and submerged valleys, leaving isolated settlements like Bloomington and Star Point near its irregular shoreline. The map captures a moment of transition where old river-bottom life adjusted to the new water levels, preserved here through numerous family cemeteries and remote landmarks.
