Cherokee is the tenth major hydro project authorized for construction of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the seventh to be completed. The dam is located at mile 52.3 on the Holston River which unites with the French Broad River just above Knoxville to form the Tennessee River. This main tributary project was the first of several TVA dams authorized under World War II emergency program and constructed on an emergency basis. Although operated primarily for power during the war emergency, Cherokee forms an integral unit in the overall system of water control projects in the Tennessee Valley, and under normal multiple purpose operation aids in reducing main-river flood stages and in stabilizing low water flows.

This is the third of three volumes comprising the Design of TVA Projects and is one of a planned series of special reports recording the experience of TVA in carrying out the major phases of its engineering and construction program in connection with its hydroelectric projects. This third volume explains the engineering work involved in the design of the mechanical installations for the primary water control structures of TVA, including switchyards constructed at the generating stations. Appurtenances for the control of water, such as gates and cranes, are considered to be accessories of the structures and were included in Volume 1.
