1950 Douglas Dam Tennessee

This classic 1950s aerial postcard captures a sweeping panoramic view of Douglas Dam and Lake on the scenic French Broad River in Sevier County, Tennessee. With its powerful presence, the dam rises 202 feet high and stretches an impressive 1,750 feet across the river.

More than just a striking engineering feat, Douglas Dam plays a vital role in generating hydroelectric power—not only at this site but at nine additional dams downstream. The view showcases the expansive lake created by the dam, surrounded by rolling hills, farmland, and forest typical of East Tennessee’s natural beauty.

The postcard features rich, vintage color printing and offers a perfect snapshot of mid-century American infrastructure and landscape.
