2013 Map of Hartford

About this map

Hartford and Cosby anchor this detailed landscape in Cocke County, where the Pigeon River flows through a corridor of significant islands including Wilson Island, Ryal Island, and Brown Island. The map documents a rural transition between high mountain ridges and valley settlements, marked by agricultural operations like the Kyle Carver Orchards and historic processing sites such as Jenkins Mill and Padgett Mill. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent knobs and gaps, from Denton Knob in the north to the high southern peaks of Mount Cammerer and Three Top Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the drainages of Cosby Cr and Caney Cr, revealing the layout of small communities like Catons Grove, Bluffton, and Allen Grove as they existed in the early 21st century. High-elevation features like Hickorynut Gap and Buzzard Roost overlook the winding paths of Hartford Rd and Shoestring Br.
