About this map

Norris Lake dominates the landscape south of La Follette, its intricate shoreline weaving around numerous ridges and hollows in this 2016 survey. The map records the complex geography of the Powell River valley where it meets the reservoir, highlighting peninsulas like Pellissippi Point and the Central Peninsula. Settlement patterns are defined by small communities such as Demory, Grantsboro, and Alder Springs, which are connected by a network of winding roads like Whitman Hollow Rd and S High Knob Rd.

For genealogists, the map is a dense record of family history, naming dozens of burial sites including Baker Forge Memorial Cem, Stooksbury Cem, and Housley Cem. These landmarks, alongside features like the Deerfield Resort Airport and Cedar Creek Bridge, illustrate the modern recreational and residential character of this Tennessee landscape while preserving the nomenclature of its early settlers through labels like Negro Ridge and Stillhouse Hollow.
