1895 Map of Morristown

About this map

Morristown serves as a central hub in the late nineteenth century, where the Southern RR (Bristol and Chattanooga Br) intersects with several local routes and river crossings. This landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley system of the Appalachian mountains, with the Holston River and French Broad River carving through the terrain. The map captures a transition in transportation, showing numerous river crossings such as Cloud Ferry, Evans Ferry, and Noe Ferry before modern bridging became common.
