2013 Map of Parrottsville

About this map

Parrottsville serves as a focal point for this 2013 survey of the Tennessee landscape, positioned near the junction of several regional routes including Route 321. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted community where family-named landmarks and geographic features dominate the terrain. To the north, the small community of Ottinger and the elevated point of Bird Hill provide local orientation points amidst a network of winding local roads and watercourses. This modern record by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring spatial layout of eastern Tennessee, showing how contemporary infrastructure like Route 340 and Route 35 overlays the traditional settlement areas that have defined the region for generations.
