1959 Map of Boone Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Boone Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this landscape, impounding the waters of the South Fork Holston River and the Watauga River to create the expansive reaches of Boone Lake and Watauga Lake. The 1950s era of infrastructure and recreation is evident in the development of Warriors Path State Park and the prominent Tri-City Airport (McKellar Field), while residential growth is captured in the Balter Bluff and Smith Shoals subdivisions.
