2022 Map of Doe

About this map

Cherokee National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Carter and Johnson Counties, where high ridges and narrow creek valleys define the local settlement patterns. Small communities like Doeville, Pandora, and Damascus are connected by a network of historic mountain routes, including Old Stage Rd and Old Butler Rd. The topography is marked by several significant peaks, most notably Holston Mtn, Iron Mountain, and Doe Mtn, which frame the high-elevation basin of Shady Valley. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the western ridgeline, following the crest of Old Road Ridge and Cross Mtn. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the William Fleeman Cem, Campbell Cem, and the Rock Springs Baptist Church Cem near Roan Creek.
