1961 Map of Douglas Dam

About this map

The Douglas Dam and its expansive reservoir, Douglas Lake, dominate this Sevier County landscape, illustrating the mid-century transformation of the French Broad River valley. Before the reservoir's creation, the area was defined by agricultural clusters and river-bound commerce, evidenced by the numerous mills like Dumplin Mill and Cook Mill along Dumplin Creek. These settlements, including Henry Crossroads and the post office at Kodak, served as local hubs for a community connected by a network of family-named cemeteries such as Saffell Cem and Ellis Cem.
