About this map

Powell River and the newly formed Norris Reservoir dominate this 1936 landscape during a period of massive transition under the Tennessee Valley Authority. This advance sheet captures the region's rural character and industry just as the reservoir reached its 1,020-foot elevation, documenting numerous family-owned landmarks and local commerce points like Kecks Store, Days Store, and Bunchs Store. The map illustrates a densely settled interior of small schoolhouses and churches, including Cline Sch and Moody Chapel, alongside the extraction and processing sites that fueled the local economy.
