1959 Map of Boone Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The South Fork Holston River defines this landscape in the late 1950s, dramatically transformed by the infrastructure of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The map centers on the massive Boone Dam, which impounds the waters of Boone Lake and Watauga Lake at the confluence of the Watauga River. This engineered environment sits alongside established communities like Gray and Colonial Heights, while newer residential footprints such as the Baker Bluff Subdivision and Smith Shoals Subdivision suggest post-war suburban growth.
