About this map

The S Fork Holston River and N Fork Holston River converge near Rotherwood, shaping a landscape defined by industrial growth and historic river crossings. This 2013 survey of the Tennessee-Virginia borderlands captures the complex suburban and industrial expansion surrounding Kingsport, where dozens of named additions like Doran Addition and Thomas Addition have filled the valleys between Walker Mountain and Cloud Ridge.

Evidence of the region's heritage is scattered across the terrain, from the Winegar Mill in the north to the site of Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Number 2427 in the southeast. Significant landmarks like the John M Johnson Memorial Bridge and the Garden Mountain Lookout Tower stand alongside industrial footprints like the Kingsport Rifle Range and Kingsport City Landfill. The map illustrates how local topography, including Wadlow Gap and Clouds Bend, has dictated the path of transit and settlement into the early 21st century.
