About this map

Stringtown sits at the junction of rail and road infrastructure in this part of Atoka County, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by the winding paths of North Boggy Creek and Muddy Boggy Creek. The dominant water feature is the Atoka Reservoir, which stretches across the northern portion of the quadrangle, held back by the Atoka Reservoir Dam. This artificial lake has altered the drainage patterns of the area, though older landmarks like the Boggy Bend Ford remain noted on the landscape.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant points of interest in the Confederate Cemetery and McKinney Cemetery, providing a window into the settlement's deep-rooted history. Education in this rural stretch was anchored by the West Tellico School, while the varied terrain features distinctive geological markers such as Black Knob Ridge, Grants Gap, and the open expanse of West Windy Prairie.
