About this map

The Cumberland River and its major reservoirs anchor this mid-century view of Middle Tennessee and South Central Kentucky. Significant infrastructure development is visible through Old Hickory Reservoir and Cheatham Lake, while the expanding footprint of the Fort Campbell Military Reservation straddles the state line between Hopkinsville and Clarksville. The regional transportation network is defined by a heavy concentration of railroads, including the Louisville & Nashville RR and Tennessee Central Ry, which supported the agrarian and industrial growth of the Highland Rim.
