About this map

Oliver Springs serves as a central hub on this 2016 survey, where the borders of Anderson, Morgan, and Roane counties converge. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of Walden Ridge and Buffalo Mtn. Small communities and family-named hollows like Shoat Lick Hollow and Beartree Hollow are scattered throughout the upland terrain, often situated near gaps like Silvey Gap or Peachtree Gap.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including Duggans Cem, Mineral Spring Cem, and Hoskins Cem, which document the long-standing family ties in Hoskins Valley and Dutch Valley. The presence of the Oliver Springs Inc Airport and the expanding residential footprint of Oak Ridge along the southern edge illustrate the region's modern development alongside traditional settlements like Coalfield and Norwood.
