2013 Map of Wallace

About this map

The N Fork Holston River winds through the northern reaches of this Washington County landscape, where the historic crossing at Buffalo Ford and the church at Craigs Mill anchor a network of rural hollows and gaps. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges such as Big Jack Ridge and Big Ridge, which separate the various creek valleys. Numerous small settlements and named family locales are scattered throughout the region, including Burson Place, Benhams, and Haskell. To the south, the population centers of Wallace and Walnut Grove mark the transition toward more developed corridors, while the west features the distinctive Robinette Gap and Wooten Gap. This topographic survey provides a detailed look at the rural Appalachian infrastructure of the early 21st century, where narrow roads like Rich Valley Rd follow the natural contours of valleys such as Caney Valley.
