2013 Map of Block

About this map

The New River and its various forks carve through the high ridges of Campbell County, defining the landscape around Smoky Junction and Montgomery. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where deep hollows and steep mountain peaks like Massengale Mountain and Roach Creek Mountain dictate the placement of roads and small settlements. Local history is anchored in several named gaps and ridges, including Jenney Gap and McCoy Ridge, which have likely guided passage through these mountains for generations. The map reveals the intricate drainage system of the area, featuring the N Fork Montgomery Fork and S Fork Montgomery Fork. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of Nicks Creek Cem and Round Rock Cem, while the inclusion of smaller locales like Brookside, Peewee, and Block helps trace the evolution of rural Tennessee communities at the start of the 2010s.
