1950 Map of Mont

About this map

The rugged Between the Rivers region of Western Kentucky is captured here during a transitional era, dominated by the Kentucky Woodlands Wildlife Refuge. This landscape preserves the industrial legacy of the nineteenth-century iron trade, evidenced by Mammoth Furnace and the Center Furnace (Ruins). The topography is defined by the Divide separating the Cumberland River to the east and the Tennessee Valley to the west. River life remains prominent through numerous landings such as Parkersville Landing and Hayes Landing along the Cumberland's Pool F. Deep in the hollows like Curry Hollow and Fulton Hollow, the map records rural landmarks including Woodson Chapel and Henderson Chapel Cem, offering a detailed view of a landscape later transformed by the creation of Land Between the Lakes.
