2019 Map of Cookeville East

About this map

Cookeville and the adjacent town of Algood serve as the primary hubs in this portion of Putnam County, where the transition from urban development to the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent elevations such as Algood Mtn, Buck Mtn, and Verble Mtn, separated by deep-cut features like Pointer Hollow and Chimney Springs Hollow. To the north, the county line between Overton Co and Putnam Co cuts through the rural settlements of Bangham and Jeremiah, while the southern reaches are marked by the path of the Falling Water River. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including Norris Cem, Paran Cem, and Robinson Cem. Small airstrips like Schiff Airport and water bodies such as Quinland Lake indicate how the modern infrastructure integrates with the natural topography of the Highland Rim.
