2019 Map of Tallassee

About this map

Tellico Lake and the winding course of the Little Tennessee River define the boundary between Blount and Monroe counties on this modern topographic survey. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of Lanier and Wellsville in the north toward the protected slopes of the Cherokee National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Several river shoals, including Fish Trap Shoals and Stratton Shoals, remain recorded alongside modern structures like the Babcock Trestle. For those looking into local lineage, the map identifies numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, such as Williamsons Chapel Cem, Kagleys Chapel, and Keener Cem. The presence of Old Railroad Bed Rd suggests the path of vanished transport lines that once moved timber or goods through this mountain-and-valley corridor.
