1952 Map of Well Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Powell River valley and its transition into the Cumberland Mountain range define this 1952 landscape, where the rising waters of Norris Lake have altered the low-lying terrain. Centered on the settlement of Well Spring and the Speedwell Post Office, the map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, such as Speedwell Academy and Flat Hollow Church. The Norris Reservation Boundary and the Chuck Swan Management Area dominate the southern portion, marking a shift from private farmsteads to public conservation. Higher elevations to the north include landmarks like McLean Rock on the Tennessee Valley Divide, offering a view of the intricate creek systems like Tackett Creek and Davis Creek that drain into the reservoir below.
