About this map

The Tennessee River and Watts Bar Lake dominate the southern half of this landscape, carving through a series of parallel ridges and valleys including Johnston Valley, Bradbury Valley, and Greasy Run Valley. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Copper Ridge, Chestnut Ridge, and Paint Rock Ridge, which funnel local travel along established corridors like the Broadway of America. In the northern section, the intersection of I-40 and I-75 near Kingston marks a modern transportation hub, yet the map preserves numerous sites of genealogical interest.

Family legacies are visible in the many small burial grounds dotting the hills, from Bradbury Cem and Ladd Cem in the north to Brabson Cem and Doughty Cem near Loudon. The river's influence is clear through features like Seven Islands, Wilson Island Shoals, and Matlock Bend, while the presence of the Wolf Creek Airport and the community of Dogwood Shores reflects the contemporary development of this riverfront region.
