COLLECTION SUMMARY

Creator:

Tennessee. Division of Geology

Inclusive Dates:

1893-1973

Scope & Content:

Consists of reports, analyses, maps, photographs, diagrams, charts, and

correspondence. Many of the collection’s maps are USGS topographical maps

with varying annotations. The photographs folder contains early images of the Mt.

Pleasant area, East Tennessee manganese mines, limestone quarries, and kilns.

Series II includes what appears to be an early draft of Dr. K. C. McMurry’s

dissertation on the economic geography of Tennessee’s Central Basin. The draft

includes a number of map excerpts, original photographs, and hand-painted

watercolor maps. Series III contains maps, diagrams, reports, data, and drawings

relating to the Upper Mississippi Embayment area located in West Tennessee.

Series IV is entirely linen-backed maps, most likely for use in the field. Oversized

material, primarily geologic folios, comprises Series V. Series VI holds a large

collection of photographic negatives dating from the 1900s until the 1930s.

Administrative/Biographical History

The Tennessee Geological Survey encourages and promotes the prudent

development and conservation of Tennessee’s geological, energy, and mineral

resources by developing and maintaining data bases, maps and technical services;

providing accurate geologic hazard assessments; and disseminating geologic

information through publications and educational outreach activities.

The Tennessee General Assembly established the first Tennessee Geological

Survey in 1831 and appointed Gerard Troost as the first State Geologist. This

makes it one of the oldest geologic service and research organizations in the

country. The survey advises other state agencies and federal and local

organizations on matters relating to Tennessee geology.

SERIES VI. – Photographic Negatives

Series Scope and Content: Photographs and photographic negatives of varying topics

around the state. Most are identified, however many are not. A majority document

geology and mineral resources around the state, but many contain early 20th century

views of towns and cities. Main streets, town square scenes, and specific building

photographs are available for Monteagle, Kingsport, Harriman, Memphis, Sewanee,

Knoxville, Cumberland Gap, Harrogate, Sweetwater, Tullahoma, Cleveland,

Chattanooga, Pikeville, Jackson, Nashville, Henderson, Bemis, Columbia, Gainesville,

and Jonesborough. A number of colleges and universities are also photographed, dating

from the 1920s including the University of the South, Vanderbilt University, the

University of Tennessee, Middle Tennessee State Normal School (later Middle

Tennessee State University), West Tennessee State Normal School (later University of

Memphis), Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial Normal School (later Tennessee State

University), Lane College, Lincoln Memorial University, Freed-Hardeman College, and

Union College. Other schools include St. Andrews School and Tennessee Military

Institute. A series of photographs show the 1912 Nashville reservoir break and its

aftermath. Interior and exterior shots of the Signal Mountain Hotel outside Chattanooga

record its appearance in the 1920s. A handful show convict labor in road construction.

Series Arrangement: Documents in this series are arranged alphabetically by city and

county; some photographs were not identified and those are arranged at the end of this

series.
