2019 Map of Douglas Dam

About this map

Douglas Lake dominates the eastern landscape where the French Broad River meets several significant tributaries, including the Little Pigeon River and Millican Cr. This modern survey illustrates the complex intersection of early pioneer settlements and major regional transit, with Interstate 40 and the Winfield Dunn Pkwy cutting through historic terrain. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds such as the Oak Grove Cem, Atchley Cem, and the Old Gists Creek Cem near the northern edge of Sevierville. Along the riverbanks, distinctive landforms like Eight Acre Bluff and islands such as McCrosky Island and Saffell Island mark the original river channel. The document also highlights small, enduring communities like Henry Crossroads and Cook Mill, providing a detailed look at how these local centers have integrated with contemporary developments like Rays Stall Airport and Yettland Park.
