1895 Map of Morristown

About this map

Morristown serves as a central hub in this late 19th-century landscape, where the Southern R. R. (Bristol and Chattanooga Br.) intersects with the local geography of Hamblen Co. and Jefferson Co. The map illustrates a society reliant on river crossings and mountain gaps, featuring numerous named points like Cloud Ferry on the Holston River and Noe Ferry further downstream. The prominence of mineral and sulfur springs, such as Tate Springs and Galbraith Sprgs, suggests a period of regional prominence for these locations as social and health destinations.
