About this map

Bland serves as a focal point for this section of the Appalachian Highlands, situated along Crab Orchard Cr at the base of Town Ridge. As the seat of local government, the Bland County Courthouse stands near the intersection of several primary routes, including State Rte 604. The landscape is defined by parallel ridges and narrow valleys, with Jefferson National Forest blanketing much of the high ground on Walker Mtn and Little Walker Mtn.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the rural reaches, from Temple Hill Cem in the north to Saint Lukes Cem and The Brick Church Cem further south. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of the region, where numerous branches like Bob King Br and Waterfall Br feed into larger water bodies such as Little Walker Creek. The southern portion reveals the secluded Crockett Cove tucked between Cove Mtn and Brushy Ridge.
