About this map

Powell River winds through the heart of this landscape, its banks defined by the Norris Reservoir Boundary as the Tennessee Valley Authority reshaped the region's hydrology. The map captures a rural network of self-sustaining communities connected by the Southern railroad and narrow hollows. In Lonesome Valley and across Watson Ridge, the social fabric is visible through an exceptional concentration of family-named landmarks and local institutions, including Ford Chapel and the Locust Grove Sch. Industrial history is preserved at Cupp Mill and Meyers Mill, while unique geographic features like the Big Sink and the steep slopes of Wallen Ridge illustrate the complex karst topography of the Claiborne and Union county border. This record serves as a vital bridge for understanding the transition from traditional Appalachian farming life to the era of large-scale federal water management.
