About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates the landscape of this East Tennessee region, its irregular shoreline creating a complex geography of points and shoals like Point Seven and Panthers Shoals. This modern topographic survey reveals the dense suburban development extending from Talbott toward the community of Alpha. Numerous residential neighborhoods, including Lakeshore Gardens, Navaho Hills, and Briarcliff View, are established along the ridges and lakefronts, illustrating the area's transition from traditional agricultural land to a commuter landscape.

Evidence of the area's older identity persists in features such as Ore Mine Hill and Mine Ridge, alongside historic transit corridors like Old Highway 11E. Recreational infrastructure is prominent near the water, with Greenlee Campground and the Wa-Ni Boat Dock serving the reservoir. The map also identifies local landmarks like the Moore-Murrell Airport and several springs, including Jarnigan Spring and Phillips Spring, which highlight the underlying karst topography of the Ridge-and-Valley province.
