About this map

Madisonville serves as the focal point of this Tennessee Valley Authority survey, showing the county seat’s layout before mid-century expansion. The landscape is defined by the Notchy Creek Knobs to the southeast and a dense network of country roads connecting small rural communities and educational institutions. Notable landmarks include the campus of Hiwassee College and several local schools such as Sequoyah Sch and Burton Hill Sch.

The infrastructure of the mid-1930s is prominently displayed through numerous power transmission lines, such as the Electric Power & Co Trans Line No 72, which reflect the early electrification efforts in the Tennessee Valley. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural meeting houses, including Corn Tassel Ch, Walnut Grove Ch, and Solomon Chapel, alongside family-named terrain like Turkeypen Ridge and branches like Tassel Creek.
