2016 Map of Burem

About this map

Rogersville and the Holston River valley are defined by a complex landscape of ridges and river bends in this mid-2010s survey. The map records the hydrological character of the area, featuring the rare Ebbing and Flowing Spring near Amis, alongside numerous other water sources like Cold Spring and Shanks Spring. The river itself is punctuated by features such as Bussels Bend, Burem Island, and the Big Creek Shoals, illustrating the natural obstacles and landmarks of this Tennessee waterway. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with communities like Burem, Surgoinsville, and Striggersville connected by a network of rural roads. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including Looneys Cem, Gillenwater Cem, and Snapp Cem, which provide a clear record of local lineage across the Harlan Knobs and Carter Valley.
