1934 Map of Holston Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

South Fork Holston River snakes through the landscape of the Unaka National Forest in this 1934 survey, reflecting a rural river economy defined by fords and small milling operations. The presence of numerous crossings, such as Monk Blevens Ford and Whitlook Ford, indicates a time before extensive bridging or damming altered the river's character. Local social and religious centers are scattered throughout the valley, including Westley Ch and New Bethel Sch, while the Osceola Boy Scout Camp and Camp Cherokee mark early recreational use of the riverbanks. Family history is well-represented by several burial grounds like Stuffels Cem and Browns Cem, and industry is noted by the proximity of Old Kings Mill and Woods Mill. This survey captures the Holston Valley just as the Tennessee Valley Authority began its transformative work in the region.
