2010 Map of Powell

About this map

Powell and the northern outskirts of Knoxville form a landscape of suburban growth intermingled with deep-rooted rural history. The presence of numerous family burial grounds, such as the Altum Cemetery, Mabry Cemetery, and the Slave Cemetery, points to the agricultural heritage of the Bullrun Valley and Brushy Valley. Industrial and commercial activity is evident along the northern edge at Clinton, where the Clinch River meanders past Eagle Bend and various shoals. Transport infrastructure is a defining characteristic of the era, from the small Powell Airport to the rail infrastructure at Jordan Siding. Natural landmarks like Stillhouse Hollow and Dismal Gap break up the ridges, while legacy sites like Baker Mill and the Heiskell Post Office anchor the smaller communities outside the city limits.
