About this map

The Holston River winds through the heart of this Knox County landscape, creating a geographic divide between the northern ridges and the southern residential stretches of Knoxville. Near the river's bend, the John Sevier area and Cabbage Island represent a complex riverine environment, complemented by the notable Double Fish Trap Shoals. The terrain is defined by parallel ridges including Beaver Ridge and McAnnally Ridge, which frame narrow valleys like Hines Valley and Beaver Valley.

To the north, rural traditions are preserved in the dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Old Poor Farm Cem and England-Legg Cem. These sites, alongside established settlements like Harbison Crossroads and Maloneyville, reflect the historical land-use patterns of the region. The northeastern corner is dominated by the prominent elevation of House Mtn, while the transport corridors of Rutledge Pike and Strawberry Plains Pike dictate the modern settlement growth patterns in Shipetown, Mascot, and Chilhowee Hills.
