2010 Map of Lee Valley

About this map

The ridge-and-valley topography of Hancock County is sharply defined by the towering Clinch Mountain and Pine Ridge, which channel the flow of Poor Valley Creek and Big War Creek. Small communities and post offices like New Hope and the Treadway Post Office anchor the landscape, connected by a network of rural roads such as Old State Rte 31 and Clinch Valley RD. The map reveals a deeply rooted settlement pattern, documented by numerous family burial grounds including Murrell Cemetery, Davis Cemetery, and McGinnis Cemetery. To the south, industrial activity is marked by the Price Quarry near Short Mountain, while the northern terrain is broken by a series of gaps and hollows, such as Chestnut Flats Gap and Bear Hollow, illustrating the topographical challenges of travel between Duck Creek and the surrounding heights.
