2013 Map of Mecca

About this map

Macedonia and Prospect anchor the northern reaches of this East Tennessee landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and drainage basins. The settlement patterns follow the winding paths of Conasauga Cr and its tributaries, including Thompson Br and Elliot Br. To the south, Bullet Creek and Holly Springs sit amidst high points like Chestnut Mountain and Locust Mountain. This area is notable for its numerous family-named hollows, such as Beasley Hollow, Casteel Hollow, and Millsaps Hollow, which reflect long-standing local landownership and community identity in Monroe County. The map also highlights distinctive physical landmarks like White Cliff and the broad geographic feature known simply as The Basin, offering a detailed view of the rural upland environment.
