About this map

Holston River carves a serpentine path through this 1939 Tennessee Valley Authority field examination, defining the landscape of Hawkins County. The river's dramatic Bussels Bend anchors the central terrain, bordered by the Southern railroad line. This era captures a rural economy sustained by landmarks like Hennard Mill and the Pumping Station, alongside established social centers including Alumwell Academy and Magnolia Sch. The map reveals a high density of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Cedar Grove Ch and Ward Cem, which provide essential clues for genealogical research. One particularly distinctive natural feature, the Ebbing and Flowing Spring, highlights the unique hydrology of the area, while settlements like Yellow Store and Gillenwater show the distribution of population across the valley and ridge system just before mid-century modernization.
