2013 Map of Viola

About this map

Viola serves as a central hub in this Southern Tennessee landscape, where the flatlands of the plateau meet a series of carved valleys and prominent rises. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Hickory Cr and the waters of Harvest Farms Lake, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle transitions into a more complex topography of hollows and knobs. Small settlements and crossroads like Mount Zion, Vervilla, and Chestnut Grove are connected by a network of rural roads, including those named for local families such as Edd Ramsey Rd and John Lawson Rd. The southern reach of the map is particularly distinctive, featuring the sharp elevation of Butterson Knob and the deep indentation of Fultz Cove. Genealogists and local historians can trace the relationship between these early communities and the land, noting landmarks like the Mount Olive Bridge and the secluded Northcutts Cove near Big Spring.
