USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Wheeler Reservoir dominates this 1936 survey, illustrating a landscape in transition as the Tennessee Valley Authority projects reshaped the region. This advance sheet captures the inundation of the Tennessee River, marking submerged landmarks such as Former Lock No 1 and numerous Former Islands beneath the new water levels. Along the northern shoreline, the settlement of Rogersville and the namesake Thorntontown sit near the Lee Highway US No 72, serving as anchors for the surrounding rural communities.
