About this map

The Holston River winds through this landscape northeast of Knoxville, defining a territory marked by numerous family burial grounds and historical river crossings. Notable landmarks include the Knox County Penal Farm and the curiously named Old Poor Farm Cemetery, reflecting the area's institutional history. The river itself features Double Fish Trap Shoals and Armstrongs Ford, alongside islands like Cabbage Island and Armstrong Island that speak to the long-standing use of these waters.

Upland terrain is dominated by McAnnatly Ridge and House Mountain, with the latter standing near the eastern boundary. The map documents a dense concentration of smaller cemeteries, such as the Biagiotti Cemetery and England-Legg Cemetery, providing a detailed record for genealogical study. Modern infrastructure is represented by the James Edward Burke Bridge and Ralph Adcock Bridge, while old routes like Millertown Pike and Washington Pike continue to link the scattered communities of the Holston valley.
