1943 Map of Decatur
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The town of Decatur anchors the southeastern corner of this Tennessee River valley landscape as it appeared shortly after the formation of the massive TVA reservoirs. The Chickamauga Reservoir and Watts Bar Reservoir dominate the center and north, created by the Watts Bar Dam. This era shows a community in transition from a purely river-dependent economy to one powered by the Watts Bar Steam Plant, though traditional landmarks like Pinhook Ferry and several river landings such as Sewee Landing and McPherson Landing remain visible.
