2022 Map of Mount Airy

About this map

The Sequatchie River meanders through the broad Sequatchie Valley, creating a distinct corridor between the elevated terrain of Walden Ridge and the Cumberland Escarpment. This landscape is defined by its deep gaps and sharp ridges, such as Hixson Gap and Alexander Gap, which dictate the local road network and settlement patterns. The community of Dunlap anchors the southern portion of the sheet, while smaller locales like Mount Airy and Pailo are situated along the valley floor, following the path of Old State Hwy 28. Numerous family cemeteries, including the Harvey Cem and John M Hixson Cem, are scattered across the foothills and ridges, providing a vital record of the area's genealogical history. The map also features several notable natural landmarks like Raven Cliff and the Natural Bridge Br, illustrating the transition from the fertile river valley to the complex high-elevation plateaus.
