About this map

Powell Valley serves as the focal point of this topographic study, where the fertile lowlands meet the dramatic rise of Cumberland Mountain. The settlement of La Follette occupies the southwestern corner, showing a detailed street grid including E Central Ave and S Tennessee Ave. Beyond the town, the landscape transitions into a series of ridges and hollows, such as Sawmill Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow, which characterize the upland terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds. Small communities like Fincastle and Habersham are documented alongside numerous cemeteries, including Glade Springs Cem, Rutherford Cem, and Peabody Cem. The prominence of the Cumberland Trl winding through Chambers Gap and past Steamboat Rock highlights the area's long-standing relationship with its varied topography, from the banks of Stinking Creek to the heights of Brushy Mtn.
