2019 Map of Morristown

About this map

Morristown sits at the heart of this East Tennessee landscape, where the urban grid meets the ridges and hollows of the Appalachian Valley. The map documents the sprawling residential growth of neighborhoods like Sunset Hills, Hillcrest, and Tigertown during the early 21st century. To the south, the boundary between Hamblen Co and Jefferson Co cuts through a landscape defined by prominent relief, including the heights of Bays Mountain and the deep cut of Aunt Jane Hollow. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Watkins Chapel Cem and Skeen Cem to named crossroads like Roe Junction and Hales Crossroads. The area's hydrology is marked by the presence of Sulphur Springs and Cherokee Lake to the northwest, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the ridge-and-valley system. Modern infrastructure, including the Moore-Murrell Airport and several business parks, highlights the region's contemporary role as a regional industrial hub.
