About this map

South Fork Holston River and the Watauga River converge in this Upper East Tennessee landscape, defining the local geography and economy of the late 1930s. The bustling settlement of Bluff City sits along the riverbank, supported by the Southern railroad line and nearby industry like Galloway Mill. This survey captures a rural network of family and community life, marked by numerous small schools and churches such as Buffalo School and Holston Grove Church.
