1961 Map of Douglas Dam

About this map

Douglas Dam and its expansive reservoir define the eastern half of this landscape where the French Broad Little River and Pigeon River meet. The map reveals the intricate engineering of the shoreline, dominated by a series of ten numbered structures from Saddle Dam 1 to Saddle Dam 10. This hydraulic control system transformed the Dumplin Valley and surrounding ridges, creating a new geography of recreation and power generation while preserving older terrestrial landmarks like Hester Knob and McBee Hill.
