1957 Map of Model

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Cumberland River corridor undergoes a massive transformation on this mid-century survey as Lake Barkley forms behind a dam under construction. This map documents the river valley just before the rising waters permanently altered the landscape between the Kentucky-Tennessee border. Notable settlements like Linton and Donaldson sit near the river's edge, while smaller communities such as Shelby Spring and the curious river-adjacent Tobacconport are shown in their original locations.
