  Maps: Track Johnson City's formation and development with maps and data

 

One of the benefits of being a railroad center is that Johnson City, Tennessee was superbly mapped in its early years. Many railroad maps as well as other sources have been digitized by the Library of Congress. Perhaps the best source for tracking the development patterns of American cities are historic fire insurance/ratings maps. These maps were updated on consistent intervals and provided incredible detail on construction activities and property uses. Attached below are selected fire insurance maps from 1891 through 1927 for Downtown Johnson City (Adobe .pdf files) and assorted other city, county, railroad, regional maps and aerial photos that provide value for local historians and genealogists.
