About this map

Unicoi serves as a central hub for this portion of the Blue Ridge, where the Unicoi Dr (Erwin Hwy) corridor follows the base of Buffalo Mountain. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high gaps, transitioning from the valley settlements of Marbleton and Shadtown into the protected lands of the Unaka Mountain Scenic Area. This 2013 survey illustrates a region where outdoor recreation and historical sites coexist, featuring landmarks such as the Scioto Shooting Range and the Limestone Cove Campground.

Further east, the terrain becomes increasingly steep toward Unaka Mountain and the North Carolina border. The map documents numerous smaller communities like Limestone Cove and Davis Springs, alongside specific sites for hikers and campers including the Cherry Gap Shelter and Camp Cordell Hull. The intricate network of creeks, such as N Indian Cr and Rock Cr, highlights the watershed patterns that have long dictated settlement and road placement in this part of East Tennessee.
