I have a copy of the first district map made for Claiborne County. I will look through my files and find it and scan for you this week sometime. I know most of the districts my heart for the old census, but they did get rezoned later on. I don't believe it was ever officially surveyed. Someone drew a map and then divided it with lines and numbered them into districts. A written description on each district spelled out the boundaries for them. I suppose there was a fine line on what district you may have been placed. I believe in one census I searched and found all my ancestors of one branch in Claiborne County. When I looked for them in the next census they were over in Union County. At first I thought they may have moved then I noticed their old neighbors were in Union County also. Then I looked at the next census and they were back in Claiborne County. I suppose such things could have happened in districts as well. I did not find a map of it when I did a search just now. I did find this link that shows the early formation of the counties in tennessee. You can pick a year and click it and show the counties that were in Tennessee for that given year.
