2013 Map of Ketner Gap

About this map

Powells Crossroads serves as a central point in this valley landscape, where the road network branches out toward the surrounding ridges. The geography is defined by the sharp transition between the lowlands along the Sequatchie River and the high plateaus accessed through passes like Ketner Gap and Burnett Gap. To the south, Sulphur Springs and Suck Creek mark areas where the water drainage patterns, including Hurricane Cr and Mullens Cr, carve through the terrain. The presence of numerous small branches and springs, such as Johnson Spring and Hudson Br, illustrates a rural Tennessee community shaped by its hydrologic features. Local life is anchored by family-named landmarks and routes, from Mount Calvary Rd to Ketner Cove Lake, reflecting a pattern of settlement that follows the natural contours and water sources of the region.
