1967 Map of Doran Cove

Industrial development is concentrated near the Tennessee River at the Widows Creek Steam Plant, which stands in sharp contrast to the old mill sites like Johnson Coopers Mill. The topography is defined by steep ridges like Cedar Ridge and deep hollows, leading down to the expansive waters of Guntersville Lake Tennessee River. Transportation routes are well-defined, showing the Seaboard rail line and the Lee Highway cutting through the valley near Stevenson and Bolivar.
