About this map

Corryton and the surrounding valley floor are defined by a complex network of ridges and narrow hollows characteristic of East Tennessee. The drainage system is anchored by Bullrun Cr, which receives flow from N Fork Bullrun Cr and various branches like Dryland Br and Bradley Br. The landscape is dotted with named hollows that likely reflect ancestral landholdings, such as Beeler Hollow, Mendenhall Hollow, and Arick Hollow.

Upland features like Buffalo Ridge and Miller Knobs separate the drainage basins of Raccoon Cr and the larger Beaver Cr watershed to the south. Small-scale water management is evident at the Graveston Mill Pond and Thunder Hollow Lake, while Big Spring suggests the underlying karst geology of the region. This 2013 survey documents the suburban-to-rural transition of the area, where established settlements like Alder Springs and Pleasant Valley interface with newer developments such as Kimberden Farms.
