Tennessee State Library and Archives Mckenzie & Son Collection, 1889 State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives McKenzie & Son Collection, 1889-1955 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: McKenzie, Alexander Ross, Sr., 1856-1927 McKenzie, Alexander Ross, Jr., 1882-1969 Inclusive Dates: 1889-1955 Scope & Content: Consists of volumes and abstracts, court cases, charters, company files, individual files, indexed deed entries, survey books and notes, reports, maps, business records, and personal records all relating to the McKenzie and Son surveying business based in Chattanooga (Tenn.) from approximately 1903 to 1919. Many of the maps were too damaged and fragile to retain and are only available on microfilm. A complete listing of physical maps and microfilm only maps is also attached. Physical Description/Extent: 74 cubic feet and 5 map drawers Accession/Record Group Number: 82-107, mf. 1477 Language: English Permanent Location: XV-J-M; XV-J-1-4; XV-K-M; M-9-14 through M-9-20 1 Repository: Tennessee State Library and Archives, 403 Seventh Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee, 37243-0312 Administrative/Biographical History McKenzie and Sons was a surveying and title firm formed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1903. Alexander Ross McKenzie Sr. was born on March 25, 1856, in Switzerland County, Indiana, to John and Jane McKenzie. He moved to Ohio where he met and married Sarah Ann “Annie” Snyder in 1879. While still in Ohio, the couple had two sons, John Herbert and Alexander Ross Jr., born in 1880 and 1882, respectively. Employed as both an engineer and title attorney, A. R. moved to Chattanooga by 1889 to pursue employment in the burgeoning southern industrial center. John passed the bar in 1903 and A. R. formed McKenzie and Son as a civil engineering, surveying, and title firm and their office was in the James Building in Chattanooga. Large mining and timber companies primarily employed McKenzie and Son to survey and ascertain land titles in Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau. The plateau consisted mostly of Mountain District lands, Tennessee’s 3rd Surveying district that was rife with overlapping grants and fraud. A. R. Jr. passed the bar in 1905 and took over from his brother as partner in McKenzie and Son. The company operated under that designation until 1919 when the elder A. R. retired. A. R. Jr. continued his own law practice well into the 20th century. John Herbert McKenzie died of an abscessed kidney on June 8, 1924, in Manchester, Tennessee, and is buried in Highland Cemetery in Sparta, Tennessee. Alexander Ross McKenzie Sr. died on January 29, 1927 and is buried in Forest Hills Cemetery in Chattanooga. Alexander Ross McKenzie Jr. died in 1969 and is also buried in Forest Hills Cemetery.

Literature Cited…………………………………………………………………. 15 2 LITTLE SEQUATCHIE COVE The Sequatchie River watershed covers an area of approximately 601 square miles and, as part of the Tennessee River drainage basin, it has approximately 909.3 stream miles (Tennessee, Ch. 1). Technically this watershed begins with a massive spring flowing from Devilstep Hollow Cave—a large limestone cavern. However, due to the karst nature of the watershed, there are hundreds of feeding streams that come from smaller caves. In particular, the section of watershed concerning this plan is the Little Sequatchie River. The Little Sequatchie is characterized as 19.6 miles of plateau escarpment by the state of Tennessee (Tennessee, Ch. 2). Due to the higher velocity and rockiness of a plateau stream, there is less fishing and recreation value in the Little Sequatchie watershed than in the larger Sequatchie watershed. However, it has a higher scenic ranking.

  • Cumberland Plateau Geological History
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area Oneida, Tennessee Geology and History of the Cumberland Plateau Geological History Rising over 1000 feet above the region around it, the Cumberland Plateau is a large, flat-topped tableland. Deceptively rugged, the Plateau has often acted as a barrier to man and nature’s attempts to overcome it. The Plateau is characterized by rugged terrain, a moderate climate, and abundant rainfall. Although the soils are typically thin and infertile, the area was once covered by a dense hardwood forest equal to that of the Appalachians less than sixty miles to the east. As a landform, this great plateau reaches from north-central Alabama through Tennessee and Kentucky and Pennsylvania to the western New York border. Geographers call this landform the Appalachian Plateau, although it is known by various names as it passes through the differ­ ent regions. In Tennessee and Kentucky, it is called the Cumberland Plateau. Within this region, the Cumberland River and its tributaries are formed. A view from any over- look quickly confirms that the area is indeed a plateau. The adjoining ridges are all the same height, presenting a flat horizon. The River Systems The Clear Fork River and the New River come together to form the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, the third largest tributary to the Cumberland. The Big South Fork watershed drains an area of 1382 square Leatherwood Ford in the evening sun miles primarily in Scott, Fentress, and Morgan counties in Tennessee and Wayne and Overlooks McCreary counties in Kentucky.

  • Rugby Burnt Mill
    The Clear Fork River The Big South Fork River near the Gentleman's Swimming Hole from the Honey Creek Overlook Cutting deeply into the Cumberland Plateau, the Clear Fork and New Rivers come together at the Confluence to form the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. Their main channels decend approximately eleven feet per mile. The swiftness of free-flowing water through the boulder-filled river beds have created a paddler’s paradise. Although the rugged terrain limits access, there are several popular hiking trails in the south end of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.

Plans published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) are sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Plans are reviewed by the public and submitted for additional peer review before they are adopted by the Service. The objectives of the plan will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific tasks and may not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. By approving this recovery plan, the Regional Director certifies that the information used in its development represents the best scientific and commercial data available at the time it was written.
