1973 Map of Norris

About this map

Norris Dam anchors this landscape, controlling the waters of Norris Lake and the Clinch River as they flow through the ridges of East Tennessee. The planned character of Norris is evident in its street layouts and proximity to the Norris State Park, while the surrounding rural landscape is defined by the steep topography of Lone Mountain Ridge and Bluebird Ridge. The map documents a blend of early hydroelectric infrastructure and preservation, featuring the Museum of Appalachia and an Old Mill near Hibbs Island.
