USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Decatur serves as the focal point of this Tennessee River valley landscape, captured as the regional environment was being transformed by major infrastructure projects. The map documents the immense scale of the Watts Bar Dam and the adjacent Watts Bar Steam Plant along the Tennessee River. These developments created Watts Bar Lake and Chickamauga Lake, altering the river's original course and submerging land near Hunter Island.
