About this map

Jefferson City and Dandridge anchor this corridor of eastern Tennessee, where the landscape transitions from the campus of Carson-Newman Coll in the north to the northern reaches of Douglas Lake in the south. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges and gaps, including Newman Ridge, Shields Ridge, and Bays Mountain, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like the Old Jefferson City Hwy and Dumplin Valley Rd E.

Genealogical interest is found in the dense distribution of burial grounds throughout the countryside, from the Old Dandridge Cem and Jefferson County Farm Cem to family and community sites like Batch Cem and Wesleys Chapel Cem. Settlements such as Hunnicutt Mill, Oakland, and Mount Horeb illustrate the area's rural development patterns. The James D Hoskins Bridge provides a vital link across the water near Sugar Forks, connecting the historic county seat at Dandridge with the surrounding valleys and ridges.
