About this map

The newly created Norris Reservoir defines the northwestern corner of this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating the transformative impact of the Tennessee Valley Authority on the region. Stretching southeast toward Knoxville, the terrain is marked by a series of parallel ridges, including Chestnut Ridge and Black Oak Ridge, which dictated the settlement patterns of rural communities like Paulette, Maloneyville, and Ritta.
