About this map

Maynardville and the surrounding valleys of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians are defined by a rhythmic sequence of ridges including Copper Ridge, Buffalo Ridge, and Pine Ridge. The landscape is a network of small settlements and family-named hollows, where water features like Bullrun Cr and Little Flat Cr dictate the layout of rural roads and historical property lines. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Union Co and Knox Co boundary crosses through Graveston, an area marked by the Graveston Mill Pond and Wood Hollow.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the terrain, from the Old Flat Creek Cem to the Pleasant Grove Cem near Ailor Gap. The map captures the enduring agricultural and residential character of communities like Luttrell, Plainview, and Corryton. Landforms such as House Mtn and Miller Knobs provide prominent local landmarks among the many namesake valleys like Raccoon Valley and Possum Valley.
