About this map

The Hiwassee River carves a winding path through the Cherokee National Forest in this 2016 survey, defining the geography of the Unicoi Mountains foothills. Small settlements like Reliance, McFarland, and Servilla dot the landscape, connected by roads such as Tellico Reliance Rd and Towee Pike. The river's influence is evident in the numerous named landforms it has created, including Big Rock Island, Cane Island, and The Narrows.

Family history is preserved through scattered burial grounds including Butler Cem, Burchfield Cem, and Stephens Cem. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks and ridges like Towee Mtn, Hankins Mtn, and Flint Ridge. Evidence of early local industry and subsistence remains visible in labels like Maggies Mill, while the surrounding rugged topography is marked by distinctive features such as Dark Hollow and Kirkland Gap.
