2010 Map of Parrottsville

About this map

Parrottsville serves as the focal point for this survey of the East Tennessee landscape, where the Nolichucky River carves a winding path through the limestone terrain of Cocke County. The river's influence is evident in the numerous named shoals and crossings, including Scruggs Shoals, Buleys Shoals, and the historic Hale Bridge. The topography is defined by a dense network of hollows often bearing family names, such as Phillips Hollow, Trantham Hollow, and Barger Hollow, suggesting a long history of local land ownership and settlement patterns along the small drainages of Clear Creek and Oven Creek.
