2022 Map of Tracy City

About this map

Tracy City sits atop the southern Cumberland Plateau, marking a landscape where the industrial history of the South Cumberland coalfields meets the dramatic geography of the Sewanee Gulf. The terrain is defined by its high ridges, such as Brushy Ridge and Pryor Ridge, and the deep hollows that drain into the Little Sequatchie River. The spatial distribution of settlements like Coalmont, Sweeton Hill, and Freemont reveals the region’s development along the plateau's summits. Several small bodies of water, including Lake Echo and the numbered reservoirs like Grundy Lake Number Two, are clustered near the primary residential centers. For those researching family history, numerous burial grounds are scattered throughout the area, including Tracy City Cem, Orange Hill Cem, and the remote Burkett Chapel Cem located near the edge of the Tennessee Valley Divide.
