1970 Map of Wauhatchie

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Nickajack Lake and the winding Tennessee River dominate this 1970 landscape, carving through the high plateau of Raccoon Mountain and Prentice Cooper State Forest. The map documents a significant era of infrastructure development, specifically the Raccoon Mountain Pumped Storage Dam and Reservoir shown during its construction phase. The river’s natural hazards and navigational landmarks, such as Suck Shoals, Deadman Eddy, and The Pot, remain prominent alongside the modern industrial footprint of the Wauhatchie Yards. Local history is preserved through numerous family cemeteries including McNabb Cem and Francis Cem, while the rugged geology is evidenced by Crystal Cave and Grant Cave. A network of old routes like Kellys Ferry Road and the Dixie Highway connect the riverside communities and mining areas at Aetna.
