About this map

The Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area dominates this portion of Lyon County and Trigg County, showcasing a landscape defined by the impoundment of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. The peninsula is bordered by the expansive waters of Lake Barkley to the east and a sliver of Kentucky Lake to the southwest. The terrain is marked by numerous named inlets such as Mammoth Furnace Bay, Cravens Bay, and Molloy Bay, which reach into a network of hollows including Curry Hollow and Racetrack Hollow.

Evidence of the area's earlier settlement and industrial history remains in the names of water features like Mammoth-Furnace Creek and small cemeteries scattered across the interior, including Bethlehem Cemetery and Henderson Chapel Cemetery. Long-established routes like Saint Stevens Church Road and Commerce Landing Road trace the ridges above the water, providing a look at the historical geography of the region before and after the creation of the recreation area.
