About this map

French Broad River flows through the heart of this East Tennessee landscape, just before the Tennessee Valley Authority’s major dam projects altered the regional hydrology. The town of White Pine serves as a primary hub, intersected by the Southern railway and U S Highway No 25 E, illustrating a community defined by its transport connections. Along the river, features like Indian Walk Shoals and the Swann Bridge mark the era's physical crossings and navigation points.

The map reveals a dense network of rural community life through its numerous churches, including Beth Car Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Swannsylvania Ch. Educational and industrial foundations are anchored by sites such as the Kansas Sch and Anderson Mill on Long Creek. This survey provides a precise record of the tri-county border area where Hamblen, Jefferson, and Cocke counties meet amidst a landscape of small settlements like Leadvale and Nina.
