1968 Map of Bacon Gap

About this map

The confluence of the Clinch River and the Tennessee River dominates this landscape, where the waters of Watts Bar Lake wrap around prominent ridges and historical sites. At the northern edge, Kingston serves as a focal point for the region's infrastructure, featuring a water treatment plant and filtration plant near the riverbanks. The map documents ancient cultural history at the Indian mounds near Southwest Point, while also highlighting modern developments like Roane County Park and Meadow Lake Airport. South of the rivers, the rugged terrain is defined by Bacon Ridge and Smalley Ridge, where small communities like Fairview and Midway are connected by winding routes such as Dogtown Road. Genealogists will find numerous family burial grounds throughout the countryside, including the Bacon Cem, Durham Cem, and the Slave cem located near the river bend.
