About this map

Watts Bar Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Roane County region, winding past prominent river features like Matlock Bend and Wright Bend. The topography is defined by parallel ridges and valleys, including Johnston Valley and Hines Valley, which reflect the classic Appalachian Ridge-and-Valley province character. Along the river, numerous islands and shoals such as Wilson Island and Bacon Shoals are mapped in detail, alongside landmarks like Paint Rock Bluff.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of family and community burial sites across the terrain. From Bradbury Cemetery and Snow Cemetery in the north to Brabson Cemetery near the riverbanks, the map preserves the locations of over twenty distinct cemeteries. Infrastructure such as Kingston Memorial Gardens and the Lakeside Golf Course indicate modern land use, while older routes like Old Johnston Valley Rd and Old Cave Creek Rd trace the historical movement of residents through the gaps in Dug Ridge.
