About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates the central landscape, a massive reservoir that defines the geography of the Hawkins and Hamblen county line. The impoundment of the Holston River created a complex shoreline of peninsulas and inlets, such as Anderson Bend and Reed Hollow, while submerging several shoals like Half Moon Shoals and Poor Valley Shoals. Historically significant settlements like Whitesburg and Russellville sit to the south, positioned along the transport corridors that follow the valley floor.

Genealogists and local researchers will find an extensive network of family and community burial sites, including Bent Creek Cem, Lane Cem, and Etter Cem. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges such as Ironworks Ridge and Short Mtn, which run parallel to the water. Significant natural features like Galbraith Springs and Dodson Spring highlight the region's hydrogeology, while named landmarks like Cain Mill and White Cliff provide markers of the area's agricultural and topographical heritage.
