1938 Map of Holston Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The South Fork Holston River snakes through the valley floor, creating distinctive geography like the Horseshoe Bend and the Osceola Island near the Bristol Water Works. This 1938 field study by the Tennessee Valley Authority reveals a landscape of ridge-top lookouts and narrow hollows along the Virginia and Tennessee border. The rugged terrain is defined by the Paperville Knobs and the towering Holston Mountain, which rises above a network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions.
