About this map

Rocky Top and the coal-mining heritage of the northern Tennessee mountains anchor this survey of the Cumberland Plateau's eastern edge. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of Vowell Mtn and Walden Ridge, where narrow hollows like Disney Hollow and Longfield Hollow provided the primary corridors for development. The settlement pattern is deeply tied to the industrial and religious history of the region, evident in the numerous small communities such as Fraterville, Briceville, and Minersville.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Miners Circle Cem and Aslinger Moore Family Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like the Briceville Methodist Church Cem, document the generations of families who worked the ridges. To the east, the terrain transitions toward the Clinch River, showing the reach of the Norris Fwy and the early 21st-century infrastructure surrounding Blowing Springs.
