2019 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Madisonville and the surrounding Monroe County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Tellico River and the eastern edge of the Cherokee National Forest. This 2019 survey captures a rural terrain marked by family-named landmarks and historical community centers like Rocky Spring, Notchy Creek, and Bethlehem. The topography is dominated by local heights such as Notchy Creek Knobs and Moses Mtn, while the valley floors are dotted with numerous burial grounds, including the Old Prospect Cem and Webb Cem. The map reveals the area's agricultural and industrial legacy through the presence of old milling sites like Stakely Mill and Belltown Mill situated along the creeks. Transportation patterns are anchored by the L & N RR corridor and the Tellico Plains Municipal Airport, illustrating how local connectivity evolved alongside the natural ridges and gaps, such as Bogard Gap and Isbell Gap, which have long dictated travel through these hills.
