About this map

Pulaski serves as the central hub of this 2016 survey, where the urban grid meets the rising slopes of the Blue Ridge. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the prominent ridgelines of Draper Mtn and Caseknife Ridge, which hem in the town to the south. To the west, the expansive Jefferson National Forest covers much of the terrain, protecting landmarks like Chestnut Mtn and the waters of Gatewood Reservoir.

Evidence of established community life is found in the clustered burial grounds of Oakwood Cem and Pinehurst Cem near the town center. The map documents a complex drainage system where Peak Creek and its many tributaries, such as Tract Fork and Pondlick Br, cut through the ridges. This modern record details the intersection of regional infrastructure and the natural obstacles of Tract Mtn and Little Walker Mtn.
