About this map

Tellico Plains serves as the focal point of this region, where the Tellico River winds through the landscape near the Tellico Lake Dam. The terrain is characterized by numerous ridges and peaks, such as Tellico Mountain and Cataska Mountain, which overlook a network of smaller settlements including Jalapa and Epperson. A significant concentration of mining history is evident in the southeastern corner near Coker Creek, where several workings are documented.

Industrial and community roots are deeply embedded here, with sites like the Conasauga Mill and the El Tigre Mine indicating a legacy of local production. Genealogists will find a wealth of information in the numerous family and community burial grounds, from the Coppenger Cemetery in the north to the Masingale Cemetery in the south. The map also highlights infrastructure such as the Elbert Martin Dam and the Coker Creek Post Office, providing a clear picture of the area's rural development and social centers.
