2022 Map of Cookeville East

About this map

Cookeville serves as the focal point of this Putnam County landscape, where the urban street grid gives way to the rising elevations of the Highland Rim. The map details a transition from the commercial and residential corridors of Algood and eastern Cookeville into the narrow hollows and high ridges that define this portion of Tennessee. Family-named landmarks such as Verble Mtn and Jones Mtn rise above the agricultural valley floors, while the Falling Water River and Cleghorn Creek drain the upland terrain. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Lyles Cem, Robinson Cem, and Bohannon Cem, many situated along older transport routes like Old Hwy 42. The distribution of these features illustrates a classic Appalachian settlement pattern, with communities like Bangham and Jeremiah established near dependable water sources and mountain gaps.
