About this map

Billingsley Gap serves as a prominent natural passage through the undulating landscape of eastern Tennessee, where the Sequatchie River winds through the southeastern corner. This 2010 survey highlights a region characterized by numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the Iron Hill Cemetery, Pendergrass Cemetery, and Beaverhill Cemetery, which offer valuable locations for genealogical research.

The presence of the Campbell Mine and named clearings like Tamp Gilbert Flat suggest a history of local resource extraction and land use. Water management is evident through a series of small reservoirs and dams, such as Beecher Smith Lake and its corresponding Beecher Smith Dam. The topography is further defined by distinctive features like the Devils Racepath and Raven Rock, while established routes like the Alvin C York Hwy connect the various coves and gaps that dot the terrain.
