1941 Map of Demory

About this map

Norris Reservoir dominates this 1941 landscape, its rising waters filling the deep valleys formed by the Powell River, Clinch River, and Cedar Creek. The map documents a critical transition for the Tennessee Valley, showing the newly formed shoreline alongside established upland settlements like Demory and Grantsboro. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it captures the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Baker Forge Memorial Cem, Hicks Cem, and Pond Cem, many of which were situated near the reservoir's edge.
