1961 Map of Burem

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Holston River carves a winding path through this corner of Hawkins County, defining a landscape where industrial development meets deep-rooted Appalachian settlements. Near the western edge, Rogersville serves as a primary hub, while the John Sevier Steam Plant and the John Sevier Detention Reservoir signal the mid-century infrastructure expansion managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority. This 1961 survey, later photorevised, preserves the locations of numerous family cemeteries such as Gillenwater Cem and Klepper Cem, alongside landmarks like the Ebbing and Flowing Spring. Transport is anchored by the Lee Highway and the Southern Railway, which parallel the river as they connect smaller communities like Burem, Guntown, and Surgoinsville. The topography transitions from the alluvial bottomlands of Miller Island to the prominent ridges of Stone Mtn and the Gravelly Knobs.
