2019 Map of Cookeville West

About this map

Bloomington Springs and the surrounding highlands of the Eastern Highland Rim are meticulously detailed in this recent record of western Putnam County. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Blackburn Fork and its tributaries, such as W Blackburn Fork and E Blackburn Fork, which carve through the terrain north of the Interstate 40 corridor. The map reveals a dense network of local history, preserved through numerous family-named burial grounds like Mayberry Cem, Quarles Cem, and Wilmoth Cem. The transition from rural homesteads to the expanding outskirts of Cookeville is evident, particularly around Cane Creek Lake and the prominent elevation of Pilot Knob. Significant historic thoroughfares like the Gainesboro Grade continue to orient the rural landscape, connecting long-standing communities like Shiloh, Double Springs, and Holladay.
