2016 Map of Monteagle

About this map

Monteagle sits atop the southern Cumberland Plateau, where the modern interstate corridor follows the historic path of the Dixie Lee Hwy. This 2016 survey documents the complex topography of the Grundy and Marion County border, characterized by deep coves and prominent sandstone points. To the east, Tracy City and Summerfield anchor the plateau, while the land drops sharply into massive depressions like Gizzard Cove and Monteagle Cove. The map traces a long history of settlement through numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the White Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Hargiss Cem. Water plays a central role in the landscape's character, with significant features such as Bridal Veil Falls, Jumpoff Falls, and Tom McBee Lake scattered throughout the drainage basins of Trussell Cr and Battle Creek.
