1941 Map of Norris

About this map

Norris Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this 1941 landscape, marking a period of massive transformation as the Clinch River is harnessed into the Norris Reservoir. The topography reveals the early footprint of Norris, a planned community connected by the Norris Freeway. Beyond the modern infrastructure of the Fish Hatchery and Norris Park, the map preserves the older social fabric of Anderson County through numerous country churches like Island Ford Ch and Sinking Springs Ch, alongside rural education centers like Belmont Sch and Riverview Sch.
