1940 Map of Shooks Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The French Broad River and Holston River converge here to form the Tennessee River, a critical geographic junction surveyed just before the construction of Fort Loudoun Dam was set to alter the western water levels. This landscape is a complex network of river islands and shoals, including Pickel Island, Boyd Island, and the treacherous McNutt Shoals. The era's river-dependent economy is visible through the Riverdale Ferry and the Boyd Bridge, providing essential crossings for rural communities like Marbledale and Asbury.
