1936 Map of Jacksboro
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Powell Valley serves as the central corridor of this 1936 survey, where the Tennessee Valley Authority was actively reshaping the landscape through the creation of the Norris Reservoir. The map documents a critical transition for Campbell County, showing the projected reservoir boundaries as they encroached upon established farms and communities. The industrial character of the era is evident in the steep terrain of Cumberland Mountain, marked by the High Point Mine and Sun Mines, which were serviced by a network of steep inclines and the Tennessee State railroad. Local life is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including Little Cove Creek Ch, Cumberland View Sch, and the Queener Cem. Near Caryville, the Caryville Dam stands as a focal point of water management, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the prominent rise of Walden Ridge.
