1942 Map of Powder Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Norris Reservoir dominates this landscape, having recently transformed the valley where the Clinch River and Straight Creek meet. This 1942 edition reveals the impact of the Tennessee Valley Authority on East Tennessee, showing the jagged fingers of the new shoreline reaching into Hogskin Valley and Little Valley. Amidst the ridges of Lone Mountain and Wallen Ridge, rural life persists at the community of Powder Springs and around family landmarks like the Butcher Cem and Braden Cem. The map documents a transition from old river-bottom living to a reservoir economy, evidenced by Cedar Grove Dock and the Walker Ford Lookout Tower. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from Navehill Sch to Pennington Chapel, many located along the Southern Railway or tucked into gaps like Acuff Gap.
