Hi, Erie is located in Loudon County in the southwest point very near both Roane and McMinn County and not too far from Monroe County. Philadelphia is located in Loudon County slightly northeast of Erie. It is about half way between Sweetwater going north toward Loudon. Now for Stockton PO. I do not know the exact location of this post office, however Stockton Valley is located on the western side of Matlock Ridge which is between the Erie and Philadelphia area. Stockton Valley Road is next to Polecat creek most of the way from the Tennessee River to the junction of Old Kingston Pike (which wonders around in that area.). Erie is at or near the junction of Blue Springs Road, Erie Road, Fry Road, and several others. The distance between Erie and Philadelphia is about 10 "as the crow flies miles"(atcfm) and maybe as many as 14 miles due to the back roads. From Philadelphia to the beginning of Stockton Valley Road south of the Tennessee River is about 5 "atcf miles" and from the beginning of Stockton Valley to Erie is about 8 "atcf miles" maybe 10 by road. This will give you some idea of the land mass area your searching. This is in an area that was once Roane County and is now Loudon County.
