About this map

Englewood and Madisonville anchor this survey of the Tennessee landscape where McMinn and Monroe counties meet. The region is defined by a dense network of rural settlements like Gudger, Nonaburg, and Liberty Hill, many of which grew around early transportation routes like the Old Federal Rd. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent knobs and gaps, including Kelly Knob and Martin Gap, which separate the agricultural valleys from the more heavily timbered ridges.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the preservation of numerous family and community burial sites, such as Saint Marys Cem and Cochran Cem. Waterways like Chestuee Cr and its tributaries, including Little Chestuee Cr and Wilson Br, have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small communities like Arden and Old Englewood. The mapping of small features like Hicks Spring and Dry Hollow provides specific landmarks for those tracing family property lines and early rural development.
