USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Elizabethton sits at the confluence of the Watauga River and Doe River, serving as a central hub for Carter County. This late-1950s record documents the city's infrastructure, from the Duffield Academy and Douglas School to the Sewage disposal plant and Radio tower (WBEJ). The landscape is defined by the steep rises of Lynn Mountain and Jenkins Mountain, where narrow hollows like Hart Hollow and Lickskillet Hollow provided space for small homesteads and family burial grounds such as Vaughn Cemetery and Bradley Cemetery.
