1980 Map of Talbott

About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates this 1980 landscape, its impounded waters following the original course of the Holston River and flooding the lower reaches of Panther Creek. The map documents the region's mid-century modernization, centered on the infrastructure of Cherokee Dam and the development of Panther Creek State Park. To the southeast, the urban growth of Morristown and Jefferson City is visible, linked by the Andrew Johnson Highway and the Southern railway line.
