About this map

The Colbert Steam Plant stands as a prominent industrial landmark on the southern bank of the Tennessee River, marking the intersection of river-based power generation and the Southern railroad line. The landscape here is defined by the massive Sevenmile Island and the complex waterways of Pickwick Lake, including Buck Island Chute and Sevenmile Island Chute. South of the river, the terrain rises sharply into the wooded heights of Sand Mountain and Hawk Pride Mountain.

Rural community life in the late twentieth century is documented through numerous scattered landmarks like Zion Ch, Nazareth Ch, and the New Bethel Sch. Local history and genealogy are anchored by family-named sites such as Gibbs Cem, Donley Cem, and Sherrod Cem. The map also captures the transition from industry to recreation, showing both the Kellar Quarry Landing and the Sevenmile Island Wildlife Management Area.
