1940 Map of Clevenger

About this map

The French Broad River defines the northern boundary of this Tennessee landscape, winding past Swann Island and Taylor Bend before the river was significantly altered by mid-century dam projects. To the south, the massive rise of English Mountain dominates the horizon, crowned by a Lookout Tower and the high point of The Pinnacle. Between the river and the peaks, a network of rural communities such as Chestnut Hill and Reedtown is connected by winding valley roads and numerous small watercourses like Muddy Creek and Indian Creek.
