USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Decatur serves as the focal point of this Meigs County survey, situated just east of the Tennessee River during a period of significant industrial transition. The landscape is dominated by the massive energy infrastructure of the Tennessee Valley Authority, featuring the Watts Bar Dam, the Watts Bar Steam Plant, and the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, which is noted as being under construction. These projects flank the boundary of Watts Bar Lake and Chickamauga Lake, fundamentally altering the riverine environment.
