About this map

Pine Mountain and Walden Ridge dominate this Tennessee landscape, where mid-century life was concentrated along the narrow hollows and creek beds. The drainage of Stinking Creek and Hickory Creek dictates the placement of early infrastructure, including the Southern Ry corridor passing through Elk Valley. This survey provides a vital record for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family-named landmarks and resting places such as Hatfield Cem, Baird Cem, and Henry Ayers Cem. The social fabric of the era is evident in the distribution of rural institutions like Broyles Chapel, Jennings Sch, and the New Liberty Ch. On higher ground, the Walnut Mtn Firetower stands over a terrain defined by steep gaps like Cave Gap and Hogjaw Gap, while La Follette Reservoir sits just north of the city limits of La Follette.
