2019 Map of Riceville

About this map

The settlement of Riceville serves as a focal point in this portion of McMinn County, situated where the N Mouse Cr valley meets the transportation corridors of the Interstate 75 and the E Railroad St rail line. This 2019 survey illustrates a landscape of ridges and valleys typical of East Tennessee, defined by Spring Creek Ridge and Mouse Creek Ridge. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Hilltop Cem, Walnut Grove Cem, and Horton Cem. To the north, the smaller community of Idlewild sits near the crossing of Rock Cr, while the edge of Athens appears in the northeast. The map also captures several water features significant to the local geography, such as Blazer Lake and William Browder Lake, alongside various springs like Kinzalow Spring and Cate Spring that dot the valley floors.
