1952 Map of Well Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Norris Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its fingers reaching deep into the valleys created by the Powell River and Davis Creek. This 1952 revision captures the region after the dramatic transformation of the river valley into a reservoir, showing the Norris Reservation Boundary weaving around the rising water. In the more elevated northern reaches, Cumberland Mountain and the Log Mountains define the terrain, separated by the Tennessee Valley Divide. The map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, noting dozens of family-named burial grounds like Beeler Cemetery, McNew Cemetery, and Leach Cemetery. Social life in the communities of Well Spring and Speedwell is anchored by institutions like the Speedwell Academy and Well Spring Church, while the south-eastern corner transitions into the protected forest of the Chuck Swan Management Area.
