1940 Map of Bacon Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Kingston and the surrounding river valleys are captured here at a critical moment of transformation as the Watts Bar Reservoir began to fill. This 1940 survey uses blue stippling to denote the specific lowlands destined for submersion, including portions of the Tennessee River and Clinch River banks. The landscape is defined by the River Knobs and several significant ridges like Bacon Ridge and Pisgah Ridge, which shaped the early settlement patterns of Roane County.
