About this map

Norris Lake dominates this landscape, its serpentine fingers reaching deep into the ridges and hollows of Campbell County. The intricate shoreline creates a complex geography of points and bends, including the Central Peninsula and the distinctively named Gatham Bend. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the higher ground, with communities like Demory, Grantsboro, and Fordsown serving as inland anchors amidst a network of recreational and seasonal developments. The influence of the reservoir is evident in the high density of water-access landmarks, from established marinas like Sequoyah Marina and Shanghai Dock to numerous private boat landings and cabin areas like the Heatherly Point Cabin Area.

Beyond the water's edge, the map documents the area's role in youth recreation and local industry. The southern portion of the quadrangle is home to the Upper Cumberland Council Boy Scout Camp and Camp Pellissippi, while the Boshears Tree Farm and Deerfield Resort Airport indicate the diverse land use in this lakeside region. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks such as Coolidge Ridge and Sutton Hollow, preserving the nomenclature of the residents who inhabited these valleys before and after the impoundment of the lake.
