About this map

Norris Reservoir dominates this landscape, its newly formed waters reaching into the valleys of Big Ridge and Clinch Mountain. This 1936 survey documents the Tennessee Valley Authority's transformative impact on Union County, showing the Norris Reservoir Boundary as it encroached upon established farming communities. Local industry and commerce are marked by the Berry Peter Mill and crossroads locations like Ellisons Store and Weichs Store.

The map is a vital resource for genealogists, preserving the locations of numerous family burying grounds such as Sharps Cem, Graves Cem, and Waggoner Cem. Small rural settlements like Lickskillet and Pin Hook appear alongside a network of local institutions, including Rose Hill Ch and several schools like Cedar Grove Sch and Walker Sch, which served the ridge-and-valley population before modern consolidation.
