2013 Map of Luttrell

About this map

Blaine and Luttrell anchor this 2013 survey of the Tennessee landscape, where the ridge-and-valley topography of the Clinch Mountain area dictates the path of local life. The map details the transition from high points like Kitts Point and Wildcat Spur down into settled pockets such as Lea Springs and Chesney. Along the southern edge, the Holston River serves as a primary geographic boundary, featuring historical crossing points like Nance Ferry and Mitchell Ford. The presence of Melton Field Airport and the cluster of family-named settlements like Zacharytown and Needham Hollow illustrate a rural community where modern infrastructure meets generations-old land divisions. From the headwaters of Bullrun Cr to the broad expanse of Richland Valley, the map documents the intricate network of local roads—such as Texas Hollow Rd and Joppa Mountain Rd—that lace through the hollows and gaps of Grainger County.
