About this map

Norris Lake dominates this 1952 topographic study, its fingers reaching deep into the ridges and hollows of Union County following the creation of the reservoir. The map reveals the intricate shoreline where the Powell River and Clinch River meet, highlighting a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous family-named landmarks. The Chuck Swan Management Area covers a significant portion of the central peninsula, preserving a network of older sites such as Mt Olive Cemetery and Bridges-Miller Cemetery.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history in the numerous small burial grounds, including the Old Hill Cemetery and Longmire Cemetery. Along the southern reach, Big Ridge State Park and the Boy Scout Camp reflect the area's mid-century transition toward conservation and recreation. Notable infrastructure like the White Hollow Gaging station and various islands such as Bear Hole Island and Pilot Island provide clear markers of the altered river geography.
