2013 Map of Collins

About this map

The Collins River and its Middle Prong Collins River anchor this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the settlements of Collins and Barkertown serve as the primary human centers. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage basins, most notably the Savage Gulf in the northwest and Elder Thicket Gulf to the south. Local road names such as Stage Coach Rd and the Old Chat-Mc Minnville Stage Rd provide a clear link to historical transit routes that once crossed these highlands. To the east, Price Mountain rises above the surrounding terrain, while water features like S K Johnson Lake and numerous creeks, including Jonathan Cr and Fall Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of the region before the streams descend from the plateau's edge.
