2016 Map of Ivydell

About this map

Walden Ridge and Pine Mountain dominate this landscape, defining a series of hollows and ridges characteristic of northern Tennessee. The map illustrates a pattern of small settlements and family burial grounds scattered through the terrain, with Ivydell and Elk Valley serving as primary local hubs. Dozens of hollows, such as Tram Road Hollow and Schoolhouse Hollow, suggest a history of local industry and community life established along the many branches and creeks that feed into Stinking Creek.
