Scale 1 in = 30 miles. Shows railroads, proposed railroads, major roads, distances, towns, and rivers from 1845-1848. A key shows the steam boat routes and distances. A number of counties are not included. Large insets of Nashville and Knoxville. / https://dc.etsu.edu/rare-maps/1111/thumbnail.jpg

Scale 1 in = 30 miles. 1931 reprint of the 1795 original with added imagery to the map and surrounding space. The original print of this map was a published guide for emigrants to the Tennessee country, shortly to become a state. Designed to encourage prospective settlers to move to Tennessee, it contains indications of land quality, soil fertility, etc. It also displays a reference to Native American villages and their assumed boundaries. / https://dc.etsu.edu/rare-maps/1112/thumbnail.jpg

This map is revised from the earlier map of "The State of Tennessee" published in Carey's General Atlas in 1814, 1815, and 1816. New towns shown with various connecting roads are Franklin, Columbia, Pulaski, Vernon, Jefferson, McMinnville, Madison, Washington, Springfield, and Hendersonville in middle Tennessee. Sevierville, Newport, Warm Spring, and Blountsville are in east Tennessee. It was published in Mathew Carey, Carey's General Atlas (Philadelphia: Mathew Carey and Son, 1817). Scale 1 in = 27 miles. / https://dc.etsu.edu/rare-maps/1113/thumbnail.jpg

This map is much the same as "Tennessee" published in Carey and Lea's American Atlas in 1822. Like that map, it includes border text with information about the state below the map and on a separate appendix sheet. It has 52 counties, each colored separately. Many rivers are given, as are mountain ranges. Southeastern Tennessee has "Cherokee Lands" and Ross's. Roads through central and eastern parts of the state are drawn, with Nashville and Knoxville being crossroads of travel. No area beyond the state is mapped, except for lands in Alabama which fall within the Tennessee River. Franklin County is spelled "Eranklin" with Maury spelled "Murray." Unlike that map, it shows "Brainerd one of the Missionary Stations" in southeastern Tennessee. Drawn by F. Lucas Jr. Published in H.C. Carey and I. Lea, A Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas (Philadelphia: H.C. Carey and I. Lea, 1823). Scale 1 in = 27 miles. / https://dc.etsu.edu/rare-maps/1114/thumbnail.jpg

This map depicts Tennessee in the 1830s with counties named and delineated. Topographical features are shown with various land routes, water routes, mountains, cities, towns, forts, post offices, and other details identified. Engraved by G.W. Boynton. Published in T.G. Bradford, An Illustrated Atlas, Geographical, Statistical and Historical of the United States and Adjacent Countries (Boston: Weeks, Jordan and Co., 1838).

The Appalachian Mountains in eastern Tennessee are known for landslides, and landslides are reported to cause millions of dollars of damage. To aid in the estimation of future susceptibility, geographic information systems was used to perform a logistic regression, to identify landslides in eastern Tennessee. Landslide model results validated using Kold cross validation. The model results suggest that the environmental variables slope, soil, landcover/vegetation, and distance to roads were significant factors related to landslide susceptibility. The susceptibility map showed that 86.8% of urban areas in eastern Tennessee were at highest susceptibility for landslides, possibly due to lower amounts of landcover. By overlaying past landslides on landslide susceptibility for accuracy, areas with high landslide susceptibility were found in areas along main highways and interstates. This model is a first step in using GIS to increase the awareness of landslide susceptibility in the regions and may ultimately lead to better preparation.

The purpose of this work is to create a sediment budget template (SBT) with Aberdeen Pool on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway as the demonstration site. The first task is to define the sediment behavior for the system in question. USGS data are used for sediment concentrations and flows. The USGS data are the basis for the Power Curve Program which defines the sediment behavior in terms of a power function. The second program, Tier 1 Program, uses the power curve coefficients along with the bankfull discharge to define the sediment fluxes. Thirdly, the Tier 2 Program uses power curve coefficients with daily flows to calculate daily sediment flux which are integrated over each year to calculate the yearly fluxes. From the sediment fluxes, a mass balance equation is implemented to estimate total deposition. Lastly, the computer program SIAM is used to estimate deposition amount. Comparison among the three different methods provides a best estimate of the final depositional approximation.

This thesis discusses the history of the Tennessee Valley Authority as a regional planning project.

This project was designed to aid community design professionals, specifically those professionals associated with "towns and cities that border public lands" (Howe, McMahon, Propst 1997), also known as gateway communities. Many of these towns have already begun a process of planning for future development, realizing the importance of conservation and preservation of their natural resources. By further expanding the goals and scope of town planning, this creative project intends to serve as a promotional resource and model of sustainable community design. More specifically, this creative project intends to provide Gatlinburg city officials with a conceptual master plan for the city's downtown corridor, instituting a combination of SmartCode and Smart Growth strategies with several other innovative strategies in an attempt to produce a sustainable design solution.If used as a guide for new planning and construction, this document should aid inmaintaining a lasting partnership between Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and preserve the Park as a viable natural resource. The solutions produced in this creative project aim to uphold a balance between human settlement and nature and which are environmentally responsible, socially just, and economically viable.Due to the magnitude of change required for many of the proposed development strategies, and to promote consideration for the equity of future generations, the conceptual master planning will be envisioned as a long-range build-out with suggested phasing. Working towards a sustainable goal far into the future will enable local gateway planning and design to become less reactive and promote a vision which the entire community can own. / Department of Landscape Architecture
