1968 Map of Bacon Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Kingston sits at the strategic confluence of the Clinch River and the Tennessee River, marking a landscape reshaped by the waters of Watts Bar Lake. This late-1960s survey illustrates a region balancing its ancient history with mid-century development, where ancient Indian mounds near the shoreline remain alongside modern infrastructure like the Meadowlake Airpark and the filtration plant. The terrain is dominated by the northeast-southwest orientation of Bacon Ridge and Wilker Ridge, which channeled early transit through natural breaks like Bacon Gap and Ponders Gap.
