1968 Map of Bacon Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Watts Bar Lake dominates this 1968 landscape where the Clinch River meets the Tennessee River. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Bacon Ridge and Smalley Ridge, separating the river bottoms from inland hollows like Suck-egg Hollow Branch. For the local historian, the map preserves a dense record of family heritage through named springs and burial grounds, including the Slave cem near the Clinch River and the Christopher Cem tucked into the southern ridges. Small settlements like Midtown, Fairview, and Chapman Grove are shown alongside infrastructure like the Midtown Sch and the Southern railroad line. From the recreation at Roane County Park to the managed wetlands of the Long Island Wildlife Management Area, this survey documents the transition of the river valley into a hub of water-based activity and residential growth.
