2016 Map of Mount Airy

About this map

The Sequatchie River carves a deep path through the center of this Tennessee landscape, framed by the towering heights of Walden Ridge to the east and the Cumberland Escarpment to the west. This corridor, the Sequatchie Valley, concentrates the region's human history along its floor, where family legacies are marked by numerous small graveyards such as Collier Cem, Lamb Cem, and Hughes Cem. The settlement of Dunlap anchors the southern end of the valley, while smaller communities like Mount Airy and Pailo serve as historical waypoints along the Old State Hwy 28 and Old York Hwy corridors. Notable landmarks including Standifer Bridge and Kelly Bridge provide critical crossings over the river, while natural features like Swanner Pass and Alexander Gap reveal the traditional routes used to traverse the imposing ridges that define the valley's borders.
