About this map

Goodfield Valley and the parallel ridges of No Pone Ridge and Cotton Port Ridge define the rhythmic topography of this landscape along the Meigs and McMinn County line. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, with small communities like Goodfield, Hillsview, and Clear Springs connected by a network of county roads. The abundance of family-named cemeteries, such as Cox Cem, Howser Cem, and Perry Cem, suggests a deeply rooted local history and a high degree of genealogical value for researchers tracing these East Tennessee families.

Water sources are vital to the area's development, featuring numerous springs like Marler Spring, McCorkle Spring, and Short Creek Spring. These springs feed into the drainage systems of Goodfield Creek and Agency Cr, which carve out distinct valleys like Lewis Valley and Rogers Creek Valley. The terrain shifts from the lowlands of Dallas Lake in the northwest to the elevated Decatur Ridge, illustrating the complex geological folds of the Tennessee Valley.
