2010 Map of Zionville

About this map

Trade and Zionville anchor this survey along the high ridgelines where the Tennessee and North Carolina borders meet. The landscape is defined by its deep gaps and prominent peaks, including the high elevation of Snake Mountain and the distinct profile of Elk Knob. In this rural highland, the settlement pattern follows the drainage of Roan Creek and Cove Creek, with several small communities like Pottertown and Meat Camp established at important junctions. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Greene Cemetery, Barnes Cemetery, and Skyland Cemetery, often located on the lower slopes of ridges like Hessian Ridge and Poplar Ridge. The presence of the Trade Post Office and Hopewell Church suggests these were the social and service hubs for the surrounding mountain farms and homesteads.
