1953 Map of Harriman

About this map

The industrial and river landscape of Roane County comes into sharp focus where the Emory River meets Watts Bar Lake. This mid-century survey documents Harriman at a point of transition, showing the town's dense street grid and its position as a rail hub for the Southern and Tennessee Central railroads. To the south, the massive Kingston Steam Plant appears on a peninsula formed by the confluence of the Clinch River, signaling the era's growing energy infrastructure.
