About this map

Hiwassee River defines the northern boundary of this landscape, where its waters are divided by Hooper Slough, Judd Slough, and Fuller Slough. The terrain transitions from the low-lying bluffs of Goodman Bluff and Jewell Bluff into the undulating ridges of White Oak Mountain and the distinct No Pone Valley. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of southeastern Tennessee, centered near the crossroads of Georgetown and the settlements of Birchwood and Brittsville.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including McClanahan Cem, Saint Elmo Cem, and Funderburg Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage systems, showing how Gunstocker Cr and Sugar Cr carve through the ridges. Named landmarks such as Barger Knob and Texas Knobs stand out as prominent local features amidst a network of rural roads and historical hollows like White Hollow.
