About this map

The French Broad River dominates this East Tennessee landscape, its deep meanders forming dramatic loops like Horseshoe Bend and Underwood Bend. These water crossings were vital to local commerce and travel before modern bridging, evidenced by the presence of Huffaker Ferry, Johnson Ferry, and the Brabson Ferry (Abandoned). Along the river’s edge, Seven Islands and Seven Islands Ch mark early centers of community life in the fertile bottomlands between Bays Mountain and the Knox and Sevier County mountains.
