About this map

New Market and Friends Station anchor the northern landscape of this Jefferson County region, situated along a prominent transit corridor where the terrain begins to rise into the ridges of East Tennessee. The topography is defined by the northeast-to-southwest alignment of Bays Mountain and Shields Ridge, which funnel local drainage through Beaver Cr and Tuckahoe Cr. Small rural settlements like Woolardtown and Piedmont are interconnected by a network of historic routes including Old Knoxville Hwy and Thorngrove Pike.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Youngs Memorial Cem, Wooten Chapel Cem, and McCampbells Chapel Cem, providing clear evidence of generational land tenure. The southern portion of the map transitions into the agricultural expanse of Dumplin Valley, where Dumplin Spring and Rucker Lake support the local hydrology. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary boundaries of Jefferson City and the northern edge of Sevierville while preserving the names of traditional landmarks like Sourwood Mtn and Newman Hollow.
