About this map

Athens serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, where the town's dense residential grid meets the expanding transportation infrastructure of McMinn County. The landscape is defined by its transition from the valley floor to prominent terrain features like Mill Ridge and The Knobs, with the McMinn County Airport and the Athens Post Office marking the area's modern connectivity.

Genealogists will find this map an exceptional resource for locating family burial grounds, as it meticulously identifies nearly twenty different sites including the Netherland-Rice Cemetery, Bethsalem Presbyterian Church Cemetery, and Ingleside Cemetery. The rural sections are segmented by water features such as Chestuee Creek and Rudd Spring Branch, illustrating how the agricultural and social life of the county continues to be organized around its numerous hollows and springs.
