2013 Map of Fork Mountain

About this map

Moores Camp and Mahan Village anchor the scattered mountain settlements of this rugged East Tennessee landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and knobs, including the prominent Old Mac Mountain and Smoky Mountain, which dictate the winding paths of roads like Smokey Creek Rd. These drainage patterns are intricate, with the Emory River and the New River cutting deep through the topography. Historical water sources such as Coffin Spring and Tub Spring are noted alongside family-named landmarks like Norman Pond Knob and Squire Knob. The presence of Tioga and Buffalo at the confluence of the New River and Laurel Fork suggests a settlement pattern historically tied to these narrow river valleys, where local transportation routes like Dunlap Ln follow the natural contours of the land.
