About this map

Cumberland Mountain looms over this early 1940s landscape, where the rising waters of the Norris Reservoir had recently transformed the valley of the Powell River. The map documents a rural society in transition as the Tennessee Valley Authority's work reshaped the terrain, leaving landmarks like Wilson Bend and Leadmine Bend prominent along the new shoreline. Local life is anchored by family-named sites and small community centers such as Speedwell and Yoakum Crossroad.
