About this map

Kingston sits at the strategic confluence of the Tennessee River and the Clinch River, a landscape on the verge of total transformation during this 1940 survey. Blue stipple marking the Watts Bar Reservoir indicates the immense territory slated for submergence, including riverbank sites like Hood Landing and James Ferry. The map documents the existing river-and-rail economy, with the Southern railroad tracking the Tennessee's curves and historic thoroughfares like the Walton Road and Broadway of America cutting through the terrain.
