About this map

Reedy serves as a central hub for this Roane County landscape, where the confluence of several creek branches dictates the local geography. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads following the narrow valleys, connecting small settlements like Peewee, Zackville, and Lucile. These communities are often anchored by family and community burial grounds, such as Good Hope Cem, Sheppard Cem, and the Cranesnest Cem located high on the ridges.

The drainage patterns of Right Reedy Cr and Middle Fork Reedy Cr create a complex topography of hollows and ridges, including the curiously named Frog Holler and Happy Hollow. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the map provides a clear look at the proximity of historic farmsteads to landmarks like Buffalo Ridge and the Sunflower area, as they appeared in the early 21st century before modern development significantly altered the rural character.
