Besides Rutledge, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Blaine and Bean Station. Grainger County was created in 1796 and takes its name from Mary Grainger Blount. For scale: roughly 281 square miles of land and an estimated 24,681 residents as of 2023, per the Census Bureau. Between Bean Station and Rutledge the map alternates between platted subdivisions and open farm or wooded tracts. Waterfront and bottomland parcels near the Clinch River, Holston River, and Cherokee Lake deserve a second look at the flood layer. The landscape includes the Clinch Mountain and Tennessee Valley Authority, and terrain like that drives where roads, homesites and timber tracts end up.
