1941 Map of Norris

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Authority's engineering of the Clinch River is the central theme of this 1941 survey, dominated by the newly formed Norris Reservoir and the massive Norris Dam. The planned community of Norris sits at the heart of the landscape, connected by the Norris Freeway. This era of rapid transformation is documented alongside older, rural landmarks that predated the reservoir, including Lovely Mill and the Fish Hatchery near Miller Island.
