2010 Map of Pattie Gap

About this map

Mount Cumberland Cemetery and Richardson Cemetery sit among the ridges of eastern Roane County, illustrating the deep ancestral roots tied to this landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel elevations including Hurricane Ridge, Riley Ridge, and Walker Ridge, which channel the local road network through low-lying areas like Paint Rock Valley and Dry Fork Valley. Small settlements such as Oak Hill and Luttrell serve as local hubs, connected by a web of rural routes like Salem Valley Rd and Blue Springs Rd. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, from Deatherage Cemetery in the north to Fisher Cemetery in the south, reflecting a settlement pattern where communities remained centered around family homesteads and local springs like Blue Spring and Galyon Spring.
