About this map

The Tennessee River dominates this mid-1930s landscape, bifurcated into the Wilson Reservoir and the Wheeler Reservoir. This map documents a transformative era for the Tennessee Valley Authority, showing the infrastructure supporting the dam's construction, including the Wheeler Dam Village and the Joe Wheeler Dam PO. The surrounding rural communities of Center Star and Elgin are intricately mapped, revealing a network of country schools like Patton Sch and Bethel Sch that served a distributed agrarian population before major highway expansions.
