About this map

Lake Barkley dominates the eastern half of this modern topographical study, defining the winding shoreline of the Land Between the Lakes. The landscape is marked by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where numerous hollows and creeks like Curry Hollow and Demumbers Cr drain toward the massive reservoir. Named for the former community that once occupied these ridges, Mont sits nestled among the hills above Molloy Bay.

Genealogists and local historians will find several preserved family and community burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem, Saint Stephen's Cem, and Henderson Chapel Cem. The map illustrates the region's transition into a recreational and ecological preserve, featuring the Nature Station Connector and Woodland Walk near the shores of Hematite Lake. Traces of the area's industrial past are preserved in names like Mammoth Furnace Cr, reflecting the 19th-century iron production that once thrived in these woodlands.
