1957 Map of Mecca

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Starr Mountain dominates this landscape along the border of McMinn and Monroe Counties, rising sharply between the Conasauga Creek and Cane Creek drainages. In the late 1950s, this area of the Cherokee National Forest was defined by scattered rural congregations and family cemeteries. Small communities like Mecca and Conasauga are shown alongside spiritual hubs such as Wesley Chapel, House of Prayer, and Maple Springs Ch. The topography is particularly intricate, featuring a series of named knobs including Cartwright Knob and Almon Knob, while a lookout tower stands watch over the ridge line. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for burial grounds like Hamby Cem, Cain Cem, and Adams Cem, situated near the winding Bullet Creek.
