About this map

Johnson City serves as the primary urban center for this region of East Tennessee, situated where the ridge-and-valley terrain meets the rising slopes of the Cherokee National Forest. This modern survey reveals the academic footprint of E Tennessee State Univ and Milligan Coll, alongside several smaller communities like Piney Grove and Okolona. The landscape is deeply carved by the Watauga River to the north and dominated by the high relief of Buffalo Mtn and Whiterock Ridge to the south.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial grounds, including the historic Tipton-Haynes Cem and Monte Vista Cem. The map tracks the complex intersection of infrastructure and topography, from the Johnson City Airport to the winding course of Brush Cr through the heart of the city. Notable landmarks such as the Emmanuel Sch of Religion and Roan Hill highlight the localized development patterns that have shaped the Washington and Carter County border.
