About this map

Powder Springs Post Office serves as a central hub for this portion of Union County, where the Tennessee landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Big Ridge Lake. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history through its numerous burial grounds, including the Pennington Chapel Cemetery, Cherry Orchard Cemetery, and Neal Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by a series of parallel ridges and hollows, such as Black Fox Hollow and Hogskin Valley, which shaped the early settlement patterns of the region.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident at the Clinch River Bridge Dock and Seymours Bridge Marina, while the Walker Ford Lookout Tower stands on a high point overlooking the valleys. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the winding Tater Valley Rd to the prominent heights of Log Mountain and Lone Mountain. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of family names across locations like Haun Cemetery, Warter Cemetery, and Braden Cemetery.
