1901 Map of Knoxville

About this map

The Tennessee River serves as the focal point for this 1901 survey, where the Holston River and French Broad River converge just east of Knoxville. The map illustrates a transitional landscape, from the rail-serviced urban center of Knoxville with its Southern R. R. Bristol and Chattanooga Div. and Knoxville and Augusta Railroad lines, to the remote high ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains. This period shows the region before the creation of the national park, documenting early settlements like Gatlinburg, Tuckaleeche, and the isolated community of Cade Cove.
