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.

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.
