2016 Map of Tracy City

About this map

Tracy City and the surrounding plateau communities of Gruetli-Laager, Coalmont, and Dogtown define the human landscape of this survey. Situated atop the Cumberland Plateau, the region exhibits a settlement pattern shaped by the undulating terrain of the Tennessee Valley Divide. Notable water features such as Grundy Lake Number One and Big Creek Utility Lake are central to the upland geography, while deep incisions like Sewanee Gulf and Knight Gulf mark the edges of the plateau. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly rich in family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Hobbs Hill Cem, Orange Hill Cem, and Fults Cem. The layout of local roads, such as Lockhart Town Rd and Company Farm Rd, provides a clear view of how these high-elevation settlements were connected before the modern era of expansion.
