About this map

The Pigeon River and French Broad River converge in this Tennessee valley, shaping the growth of Newport Junction and the surrounding neighborhoods. This topographic study documents a landscape where residential developments like Castle Heights and West End meet the agricultural and recreational reaches of the Smoky Mountain Golf Course. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family burial grounds including the Nichols Cemetery, Finchum Cemetery, and Breeden Cemetery.

Infrastructure is anchored by several river crossings, most notably the McSween Memorial Bridge and the John W Fisher Bridge connecting the main town with Eastport and Jimtown. From the northern shoreline of Douglas Lake to the southern reach of Wilton Springs, the survey details the transition from the town center to the outliers of Edwina and Bat Harbor. Local terrain features like Trantham Hollow and Goose Hollow provide a clear view of the area's physical geography before the modern era of expansion.
