2019 Map of Lee Valley

About this map

Clinch Mountain and Stone Mtn dominate this portion of East Tennessee, defining a landscape where settlements are closely tied to the narrow corridors of Clinch Valley and Poor Valley. The 2019 data reveals a network of rural communities such as Lee Valley and Treadway, where social and family history is preserved in numerous small burial grounds like Murrell Cem and Lovett Cem. The terrain is characterized by parallel ridges, including Copper Ridge and War Ridge, which separate the various forks of Duck Cr and the winding course of Poor Valley Cr. Local institutions like New Hope and Friendship serve as central landmarks for the dispersed farmsteads connected by routes such as Clinch Valley Rd and Duck Creek Rd, illustrating the persistent rural character of Hancock Co and Hawkins Co.
