beskrivelse:

Detail of Henry Timberlake's 1762 (published 1765) "Draught of the Cherokee Country" showing Tanasi. Timberlake's spelling of Tanasi as "Tennessee" is one of the first widely published uses of this spelling of the state's namesake. Tanasi declined after 1730 and by Timberlake's time had been overshadowed by neighboring Chota. The bend in the river is Bacon's Bend.
