About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates the landscape of this East Tennessee region, where the borders of Grainger, Hamblen, and Jefferson counties meet. The water has reshaped the valley, partially submerging features like Panthers Shoals and creating intricate shorelines around Horseshoe Bend. On higher ground, the suburban expansion of Morristown and Jefferson City is evident, particularly near the Moore-Murrell Airport and the community of Alpha.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the area, from the Martha Sunderland Cem near the town center to more rural locations such as Bacon Cem and Shiloh Cem. The industrial history of the ridges is preserved in names like Ore Mine Hill and Mine Ridge, which overlook the expanding residential developments of Alpha Heights and Wa-Ni Village. This survey provides a precise record of the road networks and water boundaries that define this portion of the Holston River valley.
