Pulaski serves as the central hub of this Appalachian landscape, situated where the valley floor meets the steep rise of Draper Mtn and Caseknife Ridge. The town's grid is anchored by the Pulaski County Courthouse, while residential growth reaches north toward Oakwood Cem. This area reveals the complex transition from developed town centers to the protected wilderness of the Jefferson National Forest, which blankets much of the western terrain across Chestnut Mtn and Brushy Ridge. Waterways like Peak Creek and Little Walker Creek follow the northeast-to-southwest grain of the ridges, defining the narrow valleys where smaller settlements like Weldon and Mount Olivet take root. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by sharp topographical boundaries, where industrial and civic life is concentrated in the corridors between the mountains.
