About this map

Loudon and the surrounding river bends of the Tennessee Valley are meticulously detailed in this survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the winding waters of Watts Bar Lake and Tellico Lake. The town of Loudon sits at a strategic point near Huff Ferry Bend, where the historic river-based economy has transitioned into a complex network of residential developments and protected lands. Further east, the planned community of Tellico Village lines the shores, its street names like Chicksaw Ln and Tuscarora Ln reflecting the area's deep heritage.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial grounds tucked into the hills, including Davis Cem, Wadkins Cem, and Simpson Cem. The presence of Robinson Mill, Burton Mill, and the settlement at Eve Mills points to a legacy of water-powered industry along tributaries like Steekee Creek and Clear Prong. The map also captures the transition between Loudon and Monroe Counties, following the elevation changes across the Bat Creek Knobs.
