1968 Map of Bacon Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Watts Bar Lake and the confluence of the Clinch River and Tennessee River dominate this 1980 photorevised landscape in Roane County. The map details the growth of Kingston as its city boundaries expand south of Interstate 40, while maintaining deep roots at the historic Southwest Point and nearby Indian mounds. The topography is defined by the parallel elevations of Bacon Ridge and Smalley Ridge, creating narrow corridors like Barnard Narrows and Bacon Gap. Local history is preserved through dozens of family-named burial grounds including Christopher Cem, Durham Cem, and a Slave Cem located near the riverbanks. The transition from rural agriculture to residential development is evident in settlements like Chapman Grove and Midtown, while the Long Island Wildlife Management Area preserves the island terrain within the river channel.
