About this map

English Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 2019 survey, where the convergence of Sevier, Cocke, and Jefferson counties creates a complex topographic boundary. To the north, the waters of Douglas Lake fill the valley, with residential developments like Douglas Estates and Flat Woods framing the shoreline. The settlement of Newport sits at the eastern edge, serving as a hub for the surrounding hollows and ridges.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly throughout the varied terrain of Grapevine Hollow, Strange Hollow, and Shropshire Hollow. The map preserves the locations of numerous burial grounds, including the Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Old Holt Cemetery, and the Bridges Chapel Cemetery. From the high elevations of The Pinnacle and The Lookoff to the valley settlements of Bailey Town and Clevenger, this record provides a contemporary look at a deeply rooted Appalachian landscape.
