About this map

The Clinch River carves a deep path through this portion of Anderson County, defining the geography between the waters of Norris Lake to the north and Melton Hill Lake to the south. The planned community of Norris sits at the center of this landscape, characterized by its distinct winding street names like Dairy Pond Rd and Deer Ridge Rd. The terrain is marked by a series of parallel ridges and valleys, including Bluebird Ridge and River Ridge, which create isolated hollows such as Massengill Hollow and Gooseneck Hollow.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and civil development is found at the Riner Farm Airport and Norris Park. For those tracing local landmarks, the map identifies specific water sources like Nelson Spring and Williams Spring, alongside high points such as Reservoir Hill and the Bluebird Lookout Tower. Small settlements like Andersonville, Bethel, and Hillvale are connected by a network of local roads that navigate the complex topography of Big Valley and Hickory Valley.
