About this map

Tazewell and New Tazewell serve as the central hubs of this Claiborne County landscape, situated where the ridge-and-valley topography of East Tennessee dictates the path of local commerce and travel. The map highlights a complex network of rural cemeteries and family-named landmarks, such as Irish Cemetery, Janeway Cemetery, and Hoge Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research.

Transport and infrastructure are defined by the terrain, featuring the Greer Tunnel and Sycamore Tunnel alongside the Tazewells-Claiborne County Airport. To the south, the waters of Big Ridge Lake reach into the valleys, creating a distinctive shoreline near Lone Mountain Dock. This record captures the area as it transitioned into the early 21st century, balancing its traditional agricultural and residential roots with modern aviation and lakeside recreation along Little Sycamore Creek and Russell Creek.
