About this map

The French Broad River and Tennessee River converge here just east of Knoxville, defining a landscape of high bluffs, islands, and river crossings. In 1940, this region was characterized by small agricultural and river-dependent settlements like Marbledale and Riverdale. Transport across the water was facilitated by the Riverdale Ferry and the Boyd Bridge, while the Southern railroad cut through the northern terrain.
