2013 Map of McCloud

About this map

McCloud and Chalk Level anchor the northern landscape of this Hawkins County region, where the terrain transitions from the waters of Cherokee Lake and the McKinneys Shoals into a series of distinctive ridges and hollows. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the land, with small communities like Grigsby and Enterprise situated near prominent heights such as Kite Mountain and Louderback Mountain. To the south, the geography becomes more defined by significant elevations like Big Mountain and the Pilot Knobs, which separate the northern drainage of Louderback Cr from the southern valleys near Mount Carmel and Brotherton. The map documents a dense network of local roads and named hollows, including Cooter Hollow and Heck Hollow, reflecting the deep-rooted rural development and family-named landmarks characteristic of east Tennessee. Notable water features like Malone Lake and Lick Cr further define the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the border of Greene County.
