1941 Map of Vonore

About this map

Fort Loudoun State Historic Area and the Tellico Blockhouse State Historic Site stand as prominent landmarks where the Little Tennessee River meets the Tellico River. This landscape is defined by the massive inundation of Tellico Lake, which submerged much of the river valley topography following the 1941 field surveys. Despite the rising waters, the map preserves the locations of early Cherokee heritage and pioneer settlement, including the Sequoyah Birthplace Memorial and several family burial grounds like Montgomery Cem and Hardin Cem.
