1970 Map of Sequatchie

About this map

Nickajack Lake and Guntersville Lake dominate this landscape where the Tennessee River cuts through the ridges of the Cumberland Plateau. The map documents a significant hydraulic transition, noting the site of the Hales Bar Dam (demolished) and the development of the Marion Memorial Bridge crossing. Along the river banks, small communities like Haletown and Ladds sit near the foot of Aetna Mountain, while the northern reaches include the Prentice Cooper State Forest and the Walden Ridge wildlife area.
