About this map

Savage Gulf and Collins Gulf dominate this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where deep incisions into the N Plateau reveal a landscape of sharp relief and complex drainage. The Collins River and its tributaries, including the Middle Prong Collins River and Savage Cr, have carved significant gorges that separate prominent features like Big Tree Spur and Price Mtn.

Settlement is concentrated along the southern margins, where the town of Gruetli-Laager and the community of Barkertown sit near the rim. The inclusion of Browns Cem and the historic Stage Coach Rd provides essential reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Grundy County. This survey clearly illustrates the transition from the high plateau tops to the river-fed gulfs, capturing the road networks like Tatesville Rd and Barker Cove Loop that navigate this difficult terrain.
