1936 Map of Big Ridge Park

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Norris Reservoir dominates the northwestern landscape of this 1936 survey, illustrating the Tennessee Valley Authority’s transformation of the region through hydroelectric development. The creation of the reservoir led to the relocation of communities like Loyston, with this sheet marking the New Loyston Cem and reflecting the shift from valley-bottom farming to recreational and conservation uses. Big Ridge Park and Big Ridge Park Lake appear prominently, preserved as early TVA public lands during the Great Depression.
