2016 Map of Sullivan Gardens

About this map

The rolling hills of Sullivan Co and Washington Co meet in this survey of the region south of Kingsport. This area is marked by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including the Logans Chapel Cem and Eastern Star Cem, which offer significant data for genealogists tracing early Appalachian families. The terrain is defined by a series of northeast-to-southwest ridges, such as Roseberry Ridge and Baines Ridge, while the industrial history of the landscape is represented by the Kincheloe Mill and the Kendrick Tunnel. Small settlements like Sullivan Gardens and Haws Crossroads serve as central nodes for the surrounding rural homesteads. The convergence of Interstate 81 and US Highway 23 shows the modernization of old transit corridors that historically followed the gaps between Bays Mountain and Hemlock Ridge.
