2019 Map of Binfield

About this map

Brick Mill and the surrounding rural landscapes of Blount County define this area southwest of Maryville. The map captures a high density of ancestral burial grounds, including the Bakers Creek Cem, Carpenter Campground Cem, and the Laurel Bank Cem near Alnwick. The terrain transitions from the ridges and hollows like Clover Hill Ridge and Crumley Hollow toward the rising slopes of Chilhowee Mtn in the southeast. Numerous small waterways, including Gallaher Cr and Ninemile Cr, carve through the valley, supporting a network of early settlements such as Binfield, Mint, and Big Springs. Transportation patterns are anchored by historic crossings like Henry Bridge and Reagan Bridge, alongside the small-scale aviation at McGraw's Backyard Airport.
