About this map

Clinch Mountain and Copper Ridge dominate this East Tennessee landscape, shaping the development of the Richland Valley before mid-century modernization. The Southern RR cuts through the ridges, serving established communities like Luttrell and Chesney. Along the southern boundary, the Holston River remains a primary corridor for travel and trade, evidenced by the presence of Nances Ferry and Frazier Island.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from family-named cemeteries like McKinney Cem and Dyer Cem to local centers of education and faith such as Rush Strong Sch and Wyrick Chapel. The map also captures the industrial footprint of the era at the Republic Quarry. This 1935 survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority, provides a window into a rural economy centered on the river and rail lines.
