1940 Map of Talbott
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The Holston River winds through this landscape in dramatic oxbows, most notably at Big Horseshoe Bend and Horseshoe Bend. This 1940 topographic study, prepared by the Tennessee Valley Authority, captures the rural character of East Tennessee just before major post-war changes. The agricultural and industrial life of the era is evidenced by several water-powered sites such as Panther Creek Mill, Lawrence Mill, and the colorfully named Old Hell Mill located along the riverbanks near Tarr Island.
