1935 Map of Talbott

About this map

The Holston River winds through a landscape defined by the convergence of Hamblen, Grainger, and Jefferson counties in the mid-1930s. This Tennessee Valley Authority survey captures a rural network of riverfront landmarks and upland farming communities before modern development altered the valley floor. Settlement is clustered around the Southern Railway corridor to the south, where Talbott and the eastern edge of Jefferson City are established. Local life is centered on numerous country institutions like Lebanon Ch, Morgans Sch, and the Martha Sunderland Cem.
