2022 Map of Talbott

About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the coves of Hamblen and Jefferson counties. The shoreline is marked by early settlements and recreational sites like Wa-Ni Village and the Horseshoe Bend Rapids. To the east, the urban expansion of Morristown and Alpha presses toward the rural hills, while Jefferson City anchors the southwestern corner. The terrain reveals a history of resource extraction at Ore Mine Hill and Mine Ridge, connected by a network of modern trails including the Point Lookout Trl and Ridge Crest Trl. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds preserved here, such as the Martha Sunderland Cem, Blackwell Cem, and Sitton Cem, which remain as quiet landmarks of the area's agricultural and pioneer heritage amidst 21st-century development.
