About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

A River before the TVA?
Submitted by Jacob Tomaw on Sat, 06/02/2007 - 8:20pm.
Sara,
Could there have been a river between the towns before the TVA?
What is this dark line running north-south? Is it a waterway? Link to Google Map
I live near this area.

I am from this area and I can not think of any river around the Camden/Bruceton area. If you are referring to the Tennessee river, that is about 8-12 mile, depending upon what shortcuts you know.
This was an interesting thing to have stumbled upon. Thank you for the picture.
