About this map

The Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the southern portion of this Kentucky and Tennessee borderlands survey, creating a massive federal footprint between Hopkinsville and Clarksville. To the west, the Cumberland River valley is transformed by Lake Barkley, a sprawling reservoir that defines the Land Between the Lakes and protects waterfowl habitat at the Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge.

Railroad corridors like the Illinois Central Gulf and Louisville and Nashville connect small tobacco and agricultural centers including Gracey, Pembroke, and Elkton. The landscape transitions from the river lowlands to prominent heights such as Pilot Rock and Mineral Hill, while smaller communities like Bumpus Mills and La Fayette mark the crossroads of the rural Pennyroyal Plateau during the early 1980s.
