About this map

The French Broad River carves a winding path through the heart of the Tennessee countryside, defining the agricultural and residential landscape between Knoxville and Sevierville. This area is characterized by dramatic river bends and fertile valleys such as Dumplin Valley and Union Valley, where small communities like Peters Mill, Boyds Creek, and Kodak are situated. The river itself is dotted with significant landforms including Seven Islands, Cain Islands, and Hanging Rock Island, which have historically influenced navigation and land use along the waterway.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and resting places. From the Trundle Family Cem near Trundle Crossroad to Brabson Cem and Randles Cem, the map reveals a deeply rooted settlement pattern. Transportation and recreation are represented by the Seven Islands Loop Trl and the small Kenner Farm Airport, while the terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Whittle Mtn, Cline Knob, and the Slate Knobs.
