About this map

Hiwassee and the New River corridor define the landscape of this Pulaski County region, where the river widens into the waters of Claytor Lake. The topography is marked by a complex system of ridges and hollows, including Jersey Ridge and Matheny Hollow, which separate the major river valleys. Along the southern reaches, Big Reed Island Creek winds through the hills near the historic community of Allisonia.

Evidence of local industry and deep-rooted family history is found at Ore Knob and scattered burial grounds like Simpkins Cem and the Jimmy Marshall Cem. Smaller residential pockets such as Tinytown and Mack Creek Village sit tucked between peaks like Stony Mtn and Little Irish Mtn. The map tracks the convergence of four county lines—Pulaski, Wythe, Carroll, and Floyd—near high points like Bullard Knob and Macks Mtn.
