About this map

Wheeler Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this 1936 survey, tracing the inundation of the Former Tennessee River as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s regional transformation. The city of Decatur is shown in detail, featuring its urban grid, Delano Park, and the industrial Brick Kilns along the waterfront. South of the city, the landscape transitions into a network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads like Austinville, Fairview, and Cedar Lake.
