Tiger Valley and the surrounding unincorporated communities of Tolley Town and Clarketown anchor this 2013 study of the Tennessee-North Carolina borderlands. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Iron Mountain and Laurel Mountain, where the terrain dictates a network of hollows such as Stillhouse Hollow and Blevins Hollow. This era of the landscape shows the integration of recreational and rural interests, featuring the Clyde Smith Trail Shelter and Camp Pleiades alongside local infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade Rd. Waterways including the Little Doe River and Tiger Creek carve through the topography, supporting small settlements like Piney Grove and White Rock. The presence of Miller Lake and Ripshin Lake on Ripshin Ridge provides a clear view of the area's upland water management and community geography.
