About this map

The Holston River carves a winding path through this corner of Knox County, defining a landscape of agricultural lowlands and ridges east of Knoxville. Near the river's bend, the John Sevier yard and Carpenter Addition highlight the importance of transport and labor, while the Knox County Penal Farm and the Poplar View Landfill mark significant land use patterns in the valley. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial sites such as the Old Poor Farm Cem and Mtn View Cem.

High points like House Mountain and McAnally Ridge overlook a network of smaller communities including Harbison Crossroads, Maloneyville, and Antioch. Water features like Double Fish Trap Shoals and Cabbage Island suggest the historical character of the river before modern channelization, while the many creeks—Roseberry Cr, Strong Cr, and Murphy Cr—flow toward the Holston through various gaps and ridges.
