About this map

Elizabethton sits at the confluence of the Watauga River and the Doe River, serving as a busy industrial and transportation hub in the late 1930s. The presence of the Bemberg district and the Southern Railway network highlights the era's manufacturing growth, while the surrounding hills are dotted with small agricultural and residential pockets like Biltmore, Siam, and Rayon Terrace. The landscape is heavily defined by the winding river valleys and the looming heights of Lynn Mountain and Iron Mountain.
