About this map

Clinch Mountain and Copper Ridge dominate this East Tennessee landscape, where the ridges and valleys of Union, Grainger, and Knox counties converge. The Southern Railway follows the natural corridor of Flat Creek, supporting local industrial activity at the Republic Quarry near the settlement of Luttrell. Further south, the rural character of the land is defined by family-named landmarks and essential community centers like Little Valley Sch and Block House Ch.

The southern edge of the map is bounded by the Holston River, where Nances Ferry provides a crossing point near Richland Creek. This area shows a pattern of upland farming and hollow settlements, such as Zacharytown and Blaine, connected by the Lee Highway. Numerous family burial grounds, including McKinney Cem and Mynatt Cem, offer important evidence of the area's genealogical history before mid-century changes.
