2010 Map of Blountville

About this map

Blountville and its surrounding countryside are captured here in a period of modern growth that preserves deep ties to its 18th-century roots. The Blountville Historic District serves as the focal point, anchoring a landscape where historical landmarks like the Galloway Mill stand near the high-speed infrastructure of the Bristol International Speedway. The geography is defined by a dense network of family-named ridges and hollows, such as Latture Ridge and Carden Hollow, which have dictated the layout of rural roads and small settlements like Buncombe and Leonardtown. Genealogists will find the terrain heavily marked by local family history, indicated by the numerous cemeteries scattered across the ridges, including Pullen Cemetery, Faulkner Cemetery, and Staubus Cemetery. Water features such as Boozy Creek and Beaver Creek wind through the valleys, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that historically shaped the placement of farms and early industry in this portion of Northeast Tennessee.
