1960 Map of Holston Valley

About this map

The South Holston Dam anchors this landscape, controlling the waters of the South Fork Holston River to create the expansive South Holston Lake. The map captures the interface of engineering and community life along the Virginia Tennessee state line, where the residential sprawl of Goose Pimple Junction meets the rugged topography of the Jefferson National Forest. This era shows a well-established infrastructure of civic and religious life, from the Holston Valley Sch to numerous rural sanctuaries like High Point Ch and Sinking Spring Ch.
