About this map

Cherokee Lake and the meandering Holston River corridor dominate this survey of Hawkins County, illustrating a landscape defined by sharp ridges and fertile river bends. The settlement of Rogersville sits at a crossroads of regional transit, while smaller communities like Burem, Petersburg, and Striggersville are scattered across the surrounding valleys. A notable hydrological feature is the Ebbing and Flowing Spring, which highlights the unique karst topography of the region.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Ward Cem, Looneys Cem, and Klepper Cem, often located near historic farmsteads or hollows such as Winegar Hollow and Hickory Cove. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the area is evident in landmarks like Henard Mill and the Hawkins County Airport, while the natural elevation of Bays Mountain and Grassy Mtn provides a clear view of the complex terrain that has shaped local development for generations.
