About this map

The Powell River winds through the heart of this landscape along the border of Tennessee and Virginia, carving distinct geological features like The Narrows, Rowland Bend, and Elk Bend. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by its narrow valleys and prominent ridges, including Wallen Ridge and Powell Mtn. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, showing dozens of family-named burial sites such as Chadwell Cem, Overton Cem, and Fugate Cem scattered across the upland hollows.

Small settlements like Alanthus Hill and Oak Grove serve as local anchors, while remnants of the area's rural history are preserved in labels for Yeary Mill and the Big Spring Ch. Transportation patterns are dictated by the terrain, with routes like Cedar Fork Rd following the natural contours of Cedar Fork Valley. The presence of Brooks Bridge and various crossings over Little Mulberry Cr highlights the historical reliance on river-and-stream navigation in Hancock and Claiborne counties.
