2013 Map of Mountain City

About this map

Mountain City serves as the central hub for this northeast Tennessee valley, where the town grid transitions into a landscape of narrow hollows and high ridges. The area’s geography is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Roan Cr and Doe Cr, which carved out the fertile grounds for settlements like Shouns and Maymead. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern footprint of the valley, showing the proximity of the Johnson County Airport to the agricultural stretches around Crackers Neck. To the west, Doe Mountain rises sharply, capped by the Kettlefoot Lookout Tower, while the eastern terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Triplett Hollow and Howard Hollow. For genealogists, the map preserves locations of local sites such as Phillips Cem and the Holy Hill church, situated near the headwaters of Muddy Br.
