About this map

Powell and the surrounding suburban developments of Knox and Anderson Counties appear here in the early 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by the winding course of Beaver Cr and the ridges of the Appalachian Valley. Residential growth is evident in clusters like Broad Acres, Ponderosa Hills, and Mayview Heights, while the northern portion of the sheet retains its rural character through landmarks like Baker Mill and several named gaps such as Diggs Gap and Dismal Gap.

To the west, the Clinch River's legacy is marked by Melton Hill Lake and distinctive river features including Clinton Island Shoals and Youngs Shoals. The transport network is anchored by the Norfolk Southern railroad and major arteries like I-75, which bisects the ridge-and-valley terrain. Significant industrial and local landmarks, from the Chestnut Ridge Landfill to the Robertson Farm Airport, show the area's mix of utility and agriculture south of the Bullrun Ridge.
