About this map

The French Broad River dominates this East Tennessee landscape, winding through a complex series of bends and islands including Underwood Bend, Kelly Bend, and Hanging Rock Hanging Rock Island. The river's historical navigation and transport importance is evident through named features like Huffaker Ferry and Walkers Landing, alongside numerous challenging passages such as Tuckahoe Shoals and Wesley Chute Shoals.

Away from the water, the terrain is defined by the agricultural and community hubs of Dumplin Valley and Union Valley. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of early families, preserving the locations of the Trundles Crossroads Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, Chesney Cemetery, and Old Boyds Creek Cemetery. From the heights of Garner Top to the lowlands of Ellis Hollow, the map documents a transition from the I-40 corridor in the north to the quieter rural reaches of the south.
