About this map

Norris Lake and the winding Clinch River dominate this modern landscape, where the waters of the Tennessee Valley Authority impact the local geography of Anderson County. The planned community of Norris is characterized by its significant elevation points like Reservoir Hill and Observation Point, while Norris Park provides extensive recreational space along the shoreline.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high density of family-named burial sites and historic landmarks, including the Sinking Springs Cem and Taylor Chapel. The map reveals the area's transition from rural farming at Riner Farm Airport to established settlements like Clinton and Andersonville. The terrain is marked by a series of parallel ridges and valleys, such as Hickory Valley and Chestnut Ridge, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like the Norris Fwy and the Old Andersonville Pike.
