About this map

Cherokee Lake and the winding Holston River dominate the landscape of East Tennessee in this 1980s-era survey. The map details the complex shoreline created by the Cherokee Dam, including numerous inlets like Spoon Hollow and Happy Hollow. Along the eastern banks, Panther Creek State Park preserves the wooded terrain surrounding Panther Creek and Point Lookout.

Industrial and residential growth is evident near Morristown and Jefferson City, where the Southern Railway and Andrew Johnson Highway facilitate regional transit. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Martha Sunderland Cem, Greenlee Cem, and Bacon Cem. The intersection of modern infrastructure and rural tradition is clear, with the Morristown Municipal Airport and a Drive-in Theater situated alongside established communities like Talbott and Alpha.
