2013 Map of Newport

About this map

The confluence of the Pigeon River and the French Broad River defines the geography of Newport, where historic transportation routes converge near the northern edge of the Smokies. This modern survey illustrates the dense clustering of neighborhoods around the city center, including West End, Eastport, and Northport, while highlighting the river crossings at the McSween Memorial Bridge and the John W Fisher Bridge. Beyond the urban core, the map traces the legacy of older transit corridors such as the Old Asheville Hwy, Old Greenville Hwy, and Old Parrottsville Hwy. Numerous smaller communities and named hollows dot the landscape, from Edwina and English Creek in the south to the river islands like Tannery Island and Boyer Island. The terrain transitions from the river bottoms to the heights of Piney Mountain, reflecting the area's complex topography and established rural settlement patterns.
