2019 Map of Boyds Creek

About this map

The French Broad River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Knox and Sevier Counties, defined by its numerous islands and shoals like Seven Islands and Huffaker Shoals. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where agricultural roots and rural residential clusters persist alongside significant topographic features like Pine Ridge and Whittle Mtn. The river's influence on the local economy and geography is evident in the naming of river bends such as Frazier Bend and Underwood Bend, and the presence of historically significant river crossings. Genealogists will find a concentration of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Boyds Creek Cem and Trundle Cem, reflecting the deep settlement history of communities like Boyds Creek and Trundle Crossroads. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Kenner Farm Airport, tucked away near the Little River.
