2013 Map of Broadford

About this map

Clinch Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this region, separating the drainage of Airuadi Run from the pastoral valleys to the south. The N Fork Holston River serves as the primary artery for the southern half of the quadrangle, winding past communities like North Holston and Broadford. This 2013 survey illustrates a settlement pattern deeply influenced by the narrow gaps and hollows of the Appalachian terrain, where roads like the Saltville Hwy and Blue Grass Trl follow the natural contours of the land. Local landmarks such as Osborns Store and Tannersville highlight the persistent rural character of the area, while smaller localities like McCready and Cedar Branch are tucked into the foothills. The map captures the significant elevation changes from Sanders Hill down to the river bottoms, documenting the rural infrastructure of Freestone Valley and the agricultural reaches of Osborne Farms.
