1936 Map of Powell Station

About this map

Powell Station and the surrounding Tennessee Valley are recorded here during a period of transition under the Tennessee Valley Authority. The landscape is defined by the prominent ridges of Chestnut Ridge and Copper Ridge, with the Clinch River winding through the northwest corner near Clinton. Significant infrastructure projects from the era are visible, including CCC Camp No 495 and the Clinton Forest Nursery. Local industry and social life are anchored by numerous small-scale operations like Fleenors Mill and Dad Mill, alongside a dense network of country churches such as Deep Springs Ch and Lonesome Dove Ch. The Southern Railway serves as a primary transit corridor, connecting the settlements of Heiskell and Glenwood to the broader region.
