About this map

Marion serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated at the confluence of several valleys and the Middle Fork Holston River. The town's grid expands toward Hungry Mother Creek and Hungry Mother Lake in the north, while the Marion Post Office and Round Hill Cemetery mark the community center. Further south, the landscape transitions into a series of rural settlements and agricultural valleys, including McMullin, Adwolf, and Holston Mill.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the forks of the Holston River, which define the local topography alongside landmarks like Pond Mountain and Rich Mountain. Historic family and community sites are scattered throughout the hills, from the Laurel Spring Cemetery to the Thomas Bridge crossing. Notable specialized features such as the Buller Bass Hatchery and the Quebec Knob Lookout Tower provide insight into the regional land use and conservation efforts during the early 21st century.
