1968 Map of La Vergne

About this map

The J Percy Priest Reservoir dominates the landscape in this mid-century survey, its fingers reaching deep into the valleys of Stones River and Smith Springs Creek. This period marks a significant transition for the region, as the newly created reservoir transformed local topography and land use. Along the western banks, the Long Hunter State Park and various public use areas such as Smith Springs Public Use Area emerged as regional recreational hubs.
