USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Nashville and the central Tennessee and southern Kentucky borderlands are captured here during a period of significant hydroelectric and military development. The Cumberland River and Tennessee River systems define the geography, shown just as the modern reservoir landscape was maturing. Large-scale water projects like Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, and the Percy Priest Reservoir dominate the hydrology, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the region's river-and-rail economy.
