About this map

Lake Barkley and the Cumberland River dominate the eastern landscape of this 1967 survey, defining the rugged geography of the Land Between the Lakes. This peninsula, divided by the Tennessee Valley Divide, shows a transition toward recreation and conservation with the establishment of the Wildlife Refuge and Environmental Education Area.

Traces of earlier settlement remain visible through several family and community landmarks, such as Henderson Chapel Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Wondson Chapel. The map documents the complex shoreline formed by flooded creek valleys, including Mammoth Furnace Bay, Honker Bay, and Cravens Bay. Industrial history is whispered in place names like Hematite Lake and the former furnace sites suggested by Mammoth Furnace Creek, providing a detailed look at the region after the completion of the Barkley Dam.
