About this map

The French Broad River carves a deep valley through this corner of the Smokies, dictating the development of settlements like Del Rio, Bridgeport, and West Myers. The river is spanned by the James T Huff Bridge near Huff Island, a focal point for the region's transport network. Away from the water, the landscape is defined by its industrial history, with several named mining operations such as the East Meyer Mine, Adams Mine, and Oliver Mine dotting the terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Faubion Cemetery, Susong Cemetery, and Kilgore Cemetery. The map also captures remnants of rural industry, such as Click Mill near Read Hill. From the high elevations of Broad Axe Hill to the gap at Morgan Gap, the interplay between the steep terrain and the small mountain communities remains central to the character of the area.
