1938 Map of Bean Station

About this map

Tate Springs and the historic crossroads of Bean Station anchor this late 1930s landscape, where the Southern Railway and the intersection of the Lee Highway and Dixie Highway drove local commerce. The terrain is defined by the heavy ridges of Clinch Mountain and Boatman Mountain, which channel the Holston River through a series of dramatic bends. Along the river's path, islands such as Payne Island and Sycamore Island appear alongside industrial markers like the Morristown Municipal Power House and the Holston Bridge.
