2022 Map of Collins

About this map

Gruetli-Laager and the surrounding plateau communities of Palmer, Collins, and Tatesville sit at the southern edge of this modern survey. The map details a dramatic landscape defined by the deep incisions of Savage Gulf and Elder Thicket Gulf, where the Middle Prong Collins River and Savage Cr have carved through the Cumberland Plateau. This area, spanning the border of Grundy and Sequatchie counties, shows a mix of historical settlement patterns and rugged conservation land. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Browns Chapel Cem and Barkertown, while an extensive network of footpaths including the North Plateau Trl and Collins Gulf Trl provide access to the plateau's interior. The presence of Stage Coach Rd serves as a reminder of early transit routes through this complex terrain between Price Mtn and Round Mountain.
