1952 Map of White Hollow

About this map

Norris Lake dominates the center of this Tennessee landscape, where the rising waters of the mid-20th century transformed the confluence of the Powell River and Clinch River. The map reveals a transition toward conservation and recreation, evidenced by the large Chuck Swan Management Area and Big Ridge State Park. Despite these changes, the terrain remains deeply marked by its earlier upland settlement patterns. Numerous family burial grounds, such as Lays Cemetery, Albright Cemetery, and Longmire Cemetery, are scattered across ridges like Dividing Ridge and Big Ridge. Small communities like Lindamood and Walnut Grove appear alongside numerous named hollows, including Shelby Hollow and Lindamood Hollow. The presence of the Hickory Star Boat Dock and several scout camps highlights the early development of the reservoir for public use following the Tennessee Valley Authority's engineering projects.
