About this map

The Pigeon River and French Broad River converge near the heart of Newport, shaping a landscape defined by significant water crossings and riverine islands like Tannery Island and Susong Island. This modern survey reveals the intricate development of neighborhood clusters such as Eastport, West End, and Northport, which radiate from the central city. The map documents numerous family burial grounds including Nichols Cem, Baxter Cem, and Mantooth Cem, providing a detailed spatial record for genealogical research in this part of Cocke County.

Rising to the south and east, the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest frame the map, with named peaks like English Mountain and Stone Mountain overlooking rural settlements like Edwina and Wilton Springs. Modern infrastructure, including the McSween Memorial Bridge and John W Fisher Bridge, connects these historically distinct communities across the river valleys, while local landmarks such as Castle Heights and Irish Cut reflect the local nomenclature and industrial history of the region.
