1961 Map of Joppa

About this map

Buffalo Springs State Hatchery and the historic Massengill Mill anchor the central valley of this Grainger County landscape, where the waters of Buffalo Creek flow toward the dramatic curves of the Holston River. The river's path is defined by sharp meanders such as Horse Shoe Bend and Mule Shoe Bend, eventually reaching the backwaters of Cherokee Lake near the Cherokee Dam. This 1960s-era documentation, with 1980s photorevisions, captures a rural economy transitioning toward recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Mossy Creek Boat Dock and the Cherokee Reservation.
