2013 Map of Sweetwater

About this map

The city of Sweetwater serves as the focal point of this East Tennessee landscape, situated along the corridor formed by US Hwy 11 and Interstate 75. The map documents a blend of established residential neighborhoods and outlying communities like Christianburg and Sherril Heights. The drainage patterns are well-defined by numerous waterways, including the winding Sweetwater Creek and the southern Oostanaula Creek, which feed into local reservoirs such as the Sweetwater Creek Watershed Number One Reservoir. Local topography is characterized by distinctive elevations like Blackoak Ridge and the Hiwassee Knobs, while the presence of Monroe County Airport and Vintage Field Airport indicates the area's importance to regional aviation. Natural water sources are prominently noted throughout the quadrangle, with named features such as Cannon Spring and Dugan Spring highlighting the hydrogeology of the Tennessee Valley.
