USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Nashville and its surrounding Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky landscapes are defined by the winding course of the Cumberland River and a massive expansion of regional water infrastructure. This 1960s-era revision shows the full footprint of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley on the western edge, flanking the Tennessee Ridge. To the east, Old Hickory Lake and the Barren River Lake reflect the post-war engineering that reshaped the Cumberland and Barren River basins.
