About this map

The community of Binfield sits at the heart of this Blount County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of ridges and small rural settlements. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Hutton Ridge, Spradling Ridge, and Grey Ridge, which channel numerous watercourses including Little Baker Cr and Ninemile Cr. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, pinpointing several established burial grounds like Salem Baptist Church Cem, Carpenters Campground Cem, and Oakland Cem.

The presence of Brick Mill and Mint indicates long-standing agricultural and milling foundations in the area, while more modern developments are visible on the outskirts of Maryville. An interesting mix of land use is evident with the inclusion of McGraw's Backyard Airport near the center of the sheet. The drainage patterns of Pistol Br, Centenary Cr, and Sixmile Cr illustrate how the local topography has historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads across this portion of East Tennessee.
