1952 Map of Powder Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Norris Lake and the Clinch River dominate the northern terrain of this 1952 revision, where the Norris Reservation boundary winds through a landscape of deep hollows and prominent ridges. The map illustrates a mid-century rural economy transitioning toward recreation, evidenced by Cedar Grove Dock and Clinch River Bridge Dock serving the flooded valleys. To the south, the settlement of Powder Springs sits along the Southern railroad line at the foot of Copper Ridge. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks, including the Walker Ford Lookout Tower and numerous burial sites such as Braden Cemetery and Cherry Orchard Cemetery. The document captures the complex convergence of Claiborne, Union, and Grainger counties across a series of parallel heights, from Lone Mountain to Clinch Mountain.
