2016 Map of Indian Springs

About this map

The rolling landscape of northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia is meticulously documented here, centered on the residential and industrial growth near Kingsport. This area, once dominated by small family settlements and agricultural operations, shows a modern network of roads like E Stone Dr and Bloomingdale Pike connecting established neighborhoods such as Bloomingdale, Orebank, and Gunnings. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges including Mullins Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, separated by namesake hollows like Sougan Hollow and Muddy Spring Hollow. Local history is anchored by numerous family cemeteries and country churches, such as the Arcadia United Methodist Church and the Emory Methodist Church, while the presence of Pettyjohn Mill and Huddle Mill points to the region's historic reliance on water power along tributaries like Full Cr and Fall Cr. The map also captures the Indian Springs Airport and the edges of Fort Patrick Henry Lake, reflecting the intersection of local aviation and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s regional water management.
