1936 Map of Newsome Sinks

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Newsome Sinks characterizes the karst topography of this corner of Marshall County, where the Tennessee Valley Authority was actively reshaping the landscape in the mid-1930s. The northern edge of the sheet shows the creation of Wheeler Reservoir, with the Wheeler Reservoir Boundary cutting through the river bottoms near Clarksville Landing. This era was one of significant transition, as the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railroad Ferry operated along the original river channel before rising waters altered local transport.
