About this map

The French Broad River winds through this East Tennessee landscape, defining the border between Knox and Sevier counties. The waterway is characterized by numerous named islands and shoals, including Seven Islands, Huffaker Shoals, and Tuckahoe Shoals, which shaped the early navigation and settlement of the river valley. In the southern portion, the community of Seymour sits at the foot of Whittle Mtn and Pine Ridge, where the local road network converges toward Trundle Crossroad.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of family-named burial sites, from Dalley Cem in the north to Chilhowee Cem in the south. The rural character of the region is punctuated by small settlements like Midway and Oak City, while specialized landmarks such as the Kenner Farm Airport and Peters Mill provide a look at the area's agricultural and aviation history. The map also traces the path of I-40 as it crosses the northeastern corner near Kodak.
