2016 Map of Carter

About this map

Cherokee National Forest dominates the landscape of this northeastern Tennessee quadrangle, where the steep ridges of Holston Mtn and Grindstaff Ridge separate narrow hollows and river valleys. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southeastern portion of the map, traversing the high ground between Turkeypen Gap and Horseleg Ridge. In the lowlands, rural settlements such as Buladeen, Sadie, Carter, and Winner are connected by a network of local roads like Lewis Cole Loop and Peters Hollow Rd. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Buckles Cem, Grindstaff Cem, and Ritchie Cem, reflect a long-standing genealogical footprint in the rugged topography of Stony Cr and its many tributaries.
