1967 Map of Mont

About this map

The peninsula of Land Between the Lakes is defined by the massive impoundments of the Cumberland River and Tennessee River during the mid-1960s. This survey records a landscape in transition, where legacy features of the 19th-century iron industry like the Center Furnace (Ruins) and family-named landmarks sit alongside new recreation infrastructure. The interior is crossed by the Tennessee Divide Trail and the Scout Trail, connecting historic sites such as Woodson Chapel and the Hematite Ch near the shores of Hematite Lake. The eastern shoreline along Lake Barkley retains the names of older river points like Commerce Landing and Ingram Shoals, while the northern section near Mammoth Furnace Bay preserves the memory of the area's industrial heritage before it became a national recreation area.
