2022 Map of Chestnut Hill

About this map

Douglas Lake and its intricate northern shorelines of Flat Creek and Ball Creek define the northern reaches of this East Tennessee landscape. The terrain rises sharply toward the south, culminating in the prominent ridgeline of English Mountain, which features landmarks like The Pinnacle, Split Gap, and The Lookoff. This area reflects a dense pattern of early settlement and family history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds including Lawson Chapel Cem, Antioch Cem, and Rinehart Cem. The community of Chestnut Hill sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, while the larger center of Newport and the neighborhood of Edgemont occupy the eastern edge along the Cocke County line. The map captures the complex drainage of the foothills, where Muddy Creek and Clear Creek carve through numerous hollows like Grapevine Hollow and Strange Hollow.
