About this map

The Holston River winds through this East Tennessee landscape, defining the boundaries of local life and industry between Mascot and Strawberry Plains. The river’s path is marked by a series of shoals and bends, including Six Shoals, Sailor Shoals, and the sharp curve of Big Bend, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the region. This area is a dense landscape of early settlements and family history, evidenced by dozens of burial grounds like McMillan Cem, Paw Paw Hollow Cem, and the Holston View Memory Gardens.

Industry and transport intersect at the Southern railroad line, which skirts the river's edge near Mascot Rocks. Regional connectivity is further reflected in historic routes such as the Old Rutledge Pike and N Ruggles Ferry Pike. From the heights of Bays Mountain to the mining history suggested by Immel Mine Rd, the map provides a clear picture of the community and terrain in the early twenty-first century.
