2003 Map of Telford

About this map

The Washington College campus and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Washington County define this region at the start of the 21st century. The terrain transitions from the rolling valley floor near Telford and Broylesville into the steep, forested slopes of the Cherokee National Forest and the Sampson Mountain Wilderness. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, from the Washington College P O and Sta along the Norfolk Southern railroad to the Greeneville Iron Furnace (Documentary Site) tucked away in the southern hills. The Nolichucky River winds through the center of the map, past landmarks like Mitchell Bluff and the Jackson Islands, while smaller communities such as New Victory and Conklin serve as local anchors. The presence of the Peach Orchard Mine and various small cemeteries scattered across the ridges reflects the area's long-standing reliance on the land's natural resources and the deep roots of its resident families.
