2013 Map of Isabella

About this map

Isabella and surrounding copper-country settlements are situated in a landscape defined by industrial history and mountain terrain. Industrial hydrology is evident at the City Services Renton Pond and the nearby Gypsum Pond, which sit south of Reesetown and Jarnigan Mountain. The map detail reveals a dense network of mountain communities including Burger Town, McGeetown, and McAllister Hill, often clustered near water sources like N Potato Cr. This area, once known for the copper mining activity of the Ducktown Basin, shows a post-industrial landscape where aviation at Martin Campbell Field Airport and transport along Highway 68 have replaced older mineral economies. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Shinbone Mountain and Threewit Mountain, with numerous gaps like Angelico Gap and Pack Gap serving as traditional passages through the southern Appalachian ridges.
