About this map

Burem and the Holston River dominate this landscape, where the river's winding course creates distinct geographic features like Bussels Bend and the large Burem Island. The waterway's historical importance for navigation and early industry is marked by numerous shoals, including Big Creek Shoals, Spears Shoals, and Burhams Shoals. On the northern bank, the Hawkins County Airport sits near the base of Miller Ridge, showing the modern infrastructure alongside older settlements.

Henard Mill and the Ebbing and Flowing Spring highlight the unique hydrography and milling history of the region. This 2013 survey details a network of valleys and ridges, from Stanley Valley to Devils Nose Valley, that shaped the development of local communities such as Petersburg, Striggersville, and McDonald Hill. The topography illustrates how the Appalachian terrain dictated the placement of roads and farms throughout Hawkins County.
