2010 Map of Bean Station

About this map

Bean Station and the rising waters of Cherokee Lake define this corner of East Tennessee, where the Holston River drainage meets the ridges of Little Poor Valley. The landscape is a mix of inundated shoals and narrow valleys, with many family-named landmarks such as Dalton Cemetery, Garrett Cemetery, and Overbay Cemetery marking the uplands. Infrastructure centers on the Bean Station Post Office and crossings like the William P Harrell Bridge. Recreation and local commerce are evident along the shoreline at the German Creek Dock and Hamblen Dock. The map reveals how modern transportation, such as Old U.S. Hwy 25E N, follows older geographical paths through gaps in the Little Poor Valley Ridge.
