2013 Map of Powder Springs

About this map

Pennington Chapel and the surrounding ridgelines of Union County reflect a deeply-rooted rural landscape where topographic features and family heritage are closely intertwined. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel valleys and hollows, including Hogskin Valley and Little Potato Valley, which funnel local life toward the waters of Norris Lake. This 2013 survey illustrates the continued importance of historic community centers like Powder Springs and Little Barren, alongside a significant concentration of family burial grounds such as the Yadon Cem, Beason Cem, and Haun Cem.
