About this map

English Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this 1935 Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS collaboration, where the ridges of Sand Mountain and Rich Mountain meet. The area is defined by a rural network of small community centers like Clevenger and Bird Cross Roads, each supported by local institutions such as Briner Heights Sch and Birds Field Memorial Ch. Notable industrial and government activity is evident through the presence of CCC Camp No 1467 and the Blowing Cave Mill, the latter situated near the natural feature Blowing Cave.

Transport and utility infrastructure is well-marked, including U. S. Highway Nos 25W and 70 and a Tennessee Public Service Company Transmission Line cutting through the northern hills. The French Broad River winds past Swann Island at the top of the sheet, while numerous hollows and branches like Strange Hollow and Muddy Creek illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Jefferson and Cocke County borderlands before modern development reshaped the region.
