About this map

Copper Ridge and the Clinch River define the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain transitions through a series of gaps and hollows into the Tennessee Valley. Small settlements and rural crossroads like New Canton, Cold Springs, and Bellamytown are connected by a network of valley roads that follow the natural contours of the land. In the southern portion of the map, the influence of modern infrastructure is evident near Greenland and the New Canton Siding, where the land meets the backwaters of Cherokee Lake.

Tracing the waterways reveals a landscape shaped by drainage patterns, from the Caney Valley Br to the Stanley Valley Cr. Notable landmarks such as the Hord Ford on the Hord Cr and the Carter Valley Landfill provide points of reference for local historians. The presence of California Hollow and Possum Knobs speaks to the traditional naming conventions used by generations of residents in this part of Hawkins County.
