About this map

Maynardville serves as the focal point for this landscape in Union County, where the Tennessee ridge-and-valley system meets the waters of Big Ridge Lake. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, including the historic Berry-Peters Mill and the Sharps Chapel Post Office. The varied topography is defined by prominent features such as Hinds Ridge, Big Ridge, and Russell Ridge, which are separated by numerous hollows like Welch Hollow and Caneseed Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of data through dozens of burial sites, ranging from the Big Barren Cemetery to the McBee Cemetery and Cox Cemetery. Industrial history is represented by the Lost Creek Mine and mineral explorations like the Woods Prospect and Rouse Prospect. The area's water resources are equally notable, featuring numerous natural outlets like Cave Spring, Hurricane Spring, and Bearwallow Spring that feed into Crooked Creek and the surrounding lake arms.
