1938 Map of Brumley

About this map

Brumley Mountain and the Jefferson National Forest dominate the high ground of the Russell and Washington county line. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of the Brumley Rim and the Poor Valley Knobs, which channel settlement and travel into the lowlands of Poor Valley and Rich Valley. Along the North Fork Holston River, small communities like Roebuck and Riverside Ch dot the riverbanks, while mountain gaps such as Moccasin Gap and Little Moccasin Gap provide the primary transit points through the difficult terrain.
