About this map

The North Fork Holston River meanders through the heart of this Smyth County landscape, carving a valley between the prominent ridges of Brushy Mountain and Walker Mountain. In the late 1950s, this area of Rich Valley was defined by small agricultural settlements and a network of country churches, including Crabtree Chapel, Ridgedale Ch, and Park Chapel. The settlement at Chatham Hill serves as a local hub near the river's bend, while Tannersville sits to the west where Laurel Creek and Freestone Creek meet. High-elevation features like the Big Cave on the slopes above Ellendale and the northern reaches of Hungry Mother State Park at Hungry Mother Lake highlight the intersection of the region's complex karst topography and early recreational development within the Jefferson National Forest.
