2010 Map of Graveston

About this map

Bullrun Creek and its many tributaries, including North Fork Bullrun Creek, carve through this landscape defined by parallel ridges and deep hollows. The rural character of Union and Knox counties is evident in the dense concentration of family cemeteries, such as the Ousley Cemetery, Chesney Cemetery, and McBee Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the south, Corryton centers around the Corryton Post Office, while the central terrain is marked by Buffalo Ridge and Miller Knobs. This 2010 survey reflects a community where legacy land names like Potato Valley, Birch Hollow, and Cove Hollow persist alongside water features such as Thunder Hollow Lake and the Graveston Mill Pond. The mapping of small gaps like Ailor Gap and Stover Gap illustrates the historic movement patterns through the ridges of East Tennessee.
