About this map

Johnson City serves as the focal point of this 2019 landscape, where the urban grid meets the rising slopes of the Blue Ridge. The map documents a complex intersection of geography and heritage, from the historic Mountain Home National Cemetery to the natural bottleneck formed by Tannery Knobs. To the south, the terrain steepens significantly toward Buffalo Mtn and Cherokee Mtn, marking the northern edge of the Cherokee National Forest.

Family history and local institutions are prominent across the quadrangle. Milligan College is situated along Buffalo Cr, while numerous family burial grounds like the Tipton-Haynes Cem and Patton-Simmons Cem offer specific data points for genealogists. The northeastern corner captures the Watauga River as it passes Sycamore Shoals Island, a site of deep significance for regional history. The map also traces the transition into neighboring Elizabethton and the early developments at Pine Crest and Okolona.
