1952 Map of Demory

About this map

Norris Lake dominates this mid-century landscape, its sprawling waters filling the valleys where the Powell River and Clinch River meet. This survey documents the area's transition into a recreation and conservation hub, noted by the presence of the Chuck Swan Management Area and the Cove Creek Wildlife Management Area. Settlements like Demory and Fordtown sit among high ridges such as Negro Ridge and Dividing Ridge, while the cabin areas at Heatherly Point, Pellissippi Point, and Sequoyah Landing indicate the rising prominence of the shoreline for seasonal residency.
