About this map

Pattie Gap sits at the heart of a ridge-and-valley landscape where five Tennessee counties—Roane, Loudon, McMinn, Meigs, and Monroe—converge. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, defined by long, parallel elevations like Hurricane Ridge and Ten Mile Ridge. Small crossroads settlements and farming communities such as Luttrell and Cedar Fork are scattered throughout these corridors, often centered around water sources like Blue Spring or historical commerce points like Cook Mill.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds preserved here, including Deatherage Cem, Hall Cem, and Mount Cumberland Cem. The complex drainage network of Paint Rock Cr and its various forks, including W Fork Paint Rock Cr, dictates the placement of winding local roads such as Paint Rock Valley Rd. The map provides a contemporary record of how these traditional land divisions and family names have endured into the 21st century.
