About this map

Land Between The Lakes dominates the center of this landscape, positioned between the expansive waters of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. This ridge-and-hollow terrain is bisected by the Tennessee Valley Divide, a natural crest that historically separated the drainage basins of two major river systems. The settlement of Golden Pond serves as a central hub along the main route of 68 80, which crosses the western waters via the Egger Ferry Bridge.

The map reveals a landscape heavily managed for conservation and public use, featuring the Golden Pond Visitors Center, the Energy Lake Wildlife Refuge, and the Long Creek Pond Waterfowl Refuge. Smaller human footprints remain visible through sites like Matheny Cem and Fenton, alongside geological curiosities such as Shanklin Cave. The numerous bays and lake access points, including Sugar Bay Lake Access and Fenton Lake Access, reflect the area's mid-century transition into a major regional recreational destination.
