2019 Map of Kingsport

About this map

The North Fork Holston River and South Fork Holston River converge here, framing the industrial and residential development of Kingsport. This terrain is defined by the significant ridges of Bays Mountain and Walker Mtn, which have historically funneled transportation and settlement into the Poor Valley and Carter Valley. The presence of Old Kingsport and the Boatyard Methodist Episcopal church points to the area's deep roots as a river-based transit hub, while markers like Fort Robinson and Tilthammer Shoals recall the early military and industrial efforts to harness the river's power. Northward, smaller agricultural and residential clusters like Winegar Mill and Yuma sit near the Virginia state line, connected by the winding path of the Southern railroad. The map details numerous family cemeteries, such as Wolfe Cem and Catron Cem, providing a precise record of local genealogy across the Tennessee-Virginia border.
