About this map

The county seat of Madisonville serves as the focal point for this survey, showcasing the town's expansion and its industrial connection to the Seaboard railroad. The landscape is defined by the prominent Knobs to the north and the deep agricultural valleys carved by Bat Creek and Notchy Creek. Notable social and educational centers are distributed throughout the rural periphery, including Hiwassee College and numerous local schools such as Phillips Sch and Brakebill Sch.

Photorevisions from 1984 highlight modern developments like the Drive-In Theater and the creation of Tellico Lake, where the Little Tenn River corridor was transformed. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family-named landmarks like Burton Cem and Kimbrough Cem, alongside several historic congregations including St Paul Ch and Solomon Chapel, reflecting the deeply rooted community structure of Monroe County.
