2019 Map of Bean Station

About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates the landscape of this region where Grainger, Hawkins, and Hamblen counties converge. The reservoir's reach is marked by several historical crossings and shoals, including German Shoals and Sheltons Shoals, which hint at the river's character before the creation of the dam. The settlement of Bean Station serves as a central hub, situated near the gap in Clinch Mountain and Poor Valley Ridge. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family burial sites such as Isenberg Cem, Caldwell Cem, and McDaniel Rd. Further south, the map details the industrial and residential fringes of Morristown, including the Lakemoore and Marguerite areas. The inclusion of Cloud 9 Aerodrome and the William P Harrell Bridge illustrates the modern infrastructure layered over the older agricultural valleys of Richland Valley and Mooresburg Valley.
