2011 Map of Peniel

About this map

Middle Fork Reedy Creek and the Left Fork Reedy Creek converge in this pocket of Roane County, shaping a landscape defined by steep ridges and winding valley roads. Small settlements such as Reedyville, Peniel, and Billings anchor the local road network, connected by routes like Ripley Rd and Reedyville Rd. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Zion Cemetery on Zion Ridge, as well as the Chrislip Cemetery and Beckley Cemetery near the creek forks. This abundance of small cemeteries provides significant evidence of the area's ancestral homesteads and lineage. Topographic highlights include Panther Knob in the north and Mount Union Hill near Morning Star, while the eastern portion features Lake Trotter Dam and the community of Leaning Oak.
