About this map

Watts Bar Reservoir dominates the lowlands of this 1941 landscape, its waters backing up into the Clinch River and Emory River as the Tennessee Valley Authority reshaped the region's hydrology. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional river crossings like Gallaher Ferry and agricultural landmarks like Smallman Mill coexist with the emerging reservoir. The complex topography of the Cumberland Plateau and Walden Ridge funnels settlement into the valleys, where small communities like Elverton and Wheat sit along the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads.
