About this map

The confluence of the Pigeon River and the French Broad River serves as the focal point for this survey of Newport, Tennessee. The town is depicted with its diverse neighborhoods, including West End, Eastport, and Northport, all joined by infrastructure such as the McSween Memorial Bridge and the John W Fisher Bridge. The presence of Tannery Island and Susong Island in the river channels highlights the industrial and geographic character of the waterways before they flow toward Douglas Lake.

To the south, the terrain rises into the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest, where smaller settlements like Edwina and English Creek are located. This area is rich with family history, documented through numerous burial sites such as Nichols Cem, Hearst Cem, and Finchum Cem. The map traces the transition from the river-bottom commerce of the valley to the higher elevations of English Mtn and Stone Mtn, providing a detailed view of the road networks connecting Oldtown and Wilton Springs.
