1939 Map of Stony Point

About this map

The Holston River carves a winding path through this corner of East Tennessee, defining a landscape of dramatic bends and fertile bottoms. Long-established communities like Stony Point and Surgoinsville sit along the river's northern banks, where the Southern Railway and the Lee Highway facilitate local commerce and transport. The river itself is punctuated by significant islands, including Miller Island and Cox Island, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by the steep ridges of Bays Mountain and War Creek Mountain.
