1973 Map of Tranquillity

About this map

Pone Ridge and the adjacent Pone Valley define the landscape of this McMinn County region, where rural settlement patterns follow the parallel ridges and narrow valleys. This area, updated in the early 1990s from 1970s field data, remains anchored by agricultural crossroads like Boggess Crossroad and small communities such as Walnut Grove and Clearwater. The hydraulic history of the terrain is evident in the numerous water sources including Lockmiller Springs, Simpson Spring, and the prominent Big Sewee Creek.
