1967 Map of Linton

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lake Barkley and the Cumberland River dominate this landscape during a period of significant regional transformation, straddling the border between Trigg County and Stewart County. The western portion of the map covers the expansive Land Between the Lakes, a protected area defined by its intricate network of drainage systems like Pryor Creek and Terrapin Creek. The survey documents the area shortly after the completion of the Barkley Dam, showing newly formed recreational and conservation zones such as the Waterfowl Management Area and the Donaldson Creek Public Use Area. Small settlements like Linton, Model, and Tobaccoport remain as anchors of local history, while numerous unnamed cemeteries and family-named landmarks like Big Joe Spring and Fox Ridge provide critical data for genealogical research. The map illustrates a transition from a river-dependent agricultural economy to one focused on large-scale water management and federal recreation.
