2019 Map of Parksville

About this map

Lake Ocoee and the Ocoee River dominate the northeastern landscape of this quadrangle, where the mountains of the Cherokee National Forest meet the valley floors of southeast Tennessee. This area is characterized by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Hillard-Ladd Cem, Dills Cem, and Fitzsimmons Cem, providing a significant record for genealogical research. The map captures the distinct settlement patterns at Oldfort and Ball Play, connected by historic routes like the Old Federal Rd. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Sugarloaf Mtn and the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the numerous creek drainages flowing through the region. Small agricultural and forest communities like Willis Springs and Conasauga anchor the southern portion of the sheet, while recreational sites like Camp Ocoee and Parksville Beach illustrate the river's importance to local life.
