1959 Map of Indian Springs

About this map

Pettyjohn Mill and Huddle Mill sit along the drainages of Sullivan County, tracing a history of local industry in a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of Chestnut Ridge and Gum Ridge. This 1959 survey, updated with revisions through the late 1970s, documents the expansion of Kingsport into residential areas like Preston Woods, Hillcrest, and Sunnyside. The map details the transition from rural hollows, such as Mollie Hollow and Bright Hollow, to established community landmarks like the Tri-City Golf Course and Bloomingdale Sch. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family and community burial sites, including Shipley Cem and Gunnings Cem. The northern boundary follows the Virginia Tennessee state line, where the terrain rises toward Low Gap and Mullins Ridge, while the southern reaches are anchored by the South Fork Holston River and Warriors Path State Park.
