1952 Map of Big Ridge Park

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Big Ridge State Park and the rising waters of Norris Lake define this landscape at the intersection of Union, Anderson, and Knox counties. Following the creation of the reservoir by the Tennessee Valley Authority, the map shows the emergence of New Loyston, a planned community established to replace the original town flooded by the dam project. The terrain is dominated by a series of parallel ridges, including Hinds Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, which dictate the placement of rural settlements and transport corridors like Tenn 33.
