About this map

Mountain City serves as the central hub of this northeast Tennessee landscape, where the town grid transitions into the steep ridges and hollows of the Cherokee National Forest. The map documents a valley floor defined by a network of creeks including Roan Creek and Doe Cr, which have historically shaped the agricultural and settlement patterns of the region. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and resting places such as Phillips Cem near Turkey Knobs and Wilson Cem further south.

Smaller hamlets and intersections like Shouns, Crackers Neck, and Neva are scattered along the valley, illustrating the enduring nature of these rural communities. The presence of the Johnson County Airport near Maymead highlights modern infrastructure alongside traditional terrain features like Rainbow Mtn and the Stone Mountains. This survey provides a clear view of the complex road systems and property access points that stitch together the isolated hollows and prominent peaks of the Johnson County highlands.
