About this map

Bean Station and the sprawling waters of Cherokee Lake dominate this landscape, illustrating the intersection of historic crossroads and mid-century reservoir development. The map shows the significant influence of the Tennessee Valley Authority's engineering on local geography, where former lowlands are now identified as Sheltons Shoals and Coulters Shoals beneath the lake's surface. Transport remains a central theme, with the modern paths of Old Us HWY 25 E and the William P Harrell Bridge crossing the jagged shoreline.

Upland areas like Little Poor Valley Ridge and Boatman Mountain provide a stark contrast to the developed residential clusters of Timbercrest, Lakemoore, and Wyatt Village. Local history remains visible through labels for smaller communities like Tate Springs and Meadow Branch, while recreational landmarks such as Cherokee Park and the German Creek Cabin Area reflect the area's transition into a modern destination for leisure and lakefront living.
