About this map

Mooresville and the surrounding river bottomlands are captured here shortly after the Tennessee Valley Authority began transforming the regional landscape. The map documents the creation of Wheeler Reservoir and the Wheeler Reservation Boundary, showing how the rising waters reshaped the banks of the Tennessee River. This transitional period is marked by the presence of traditional agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks like Anderson Place and Murphree Place existing alongside the newer hydroelectric infrastructure. The inland areas remain dominated by a network of rural institutions, including Bright Hope Sch and Trinity Ch. The dual influence of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads highlights the importance of rail transport to cotton-country depots like Belle Mina and Tanner during the mid-1930s.
