2016 Map of Tariff

About this map

Henry Fork and its winding tributaries dominate this 2016 study of the Roane and Calhoun county border. This landscape is defined by the rural settlements of Linden, Milo, Tariff, and Oka, each serving as a historical anchor for the surrounding hollows. The area maintains a high concentration of family burial grounds, such as Young Cem, Chewing Cem, and Bailey Cem, providing invaluable data for genealogists tracing regional lineages. Distinctive landmarks like King Rocks and the elevation of Desert Knob break the repetitive ridge-and-valley topography. The map illustrates a complex network of county roads, including Tariff Rd and Milo Rd, which follow the natural drainage patterns of Maple Run, Wolf Run, and Simmons Fork. The presence of Silcott Lake offers a rare stationary water feature in an otherwise fluid drainage system of runs and forks.
