2010 Map of Crawford

About this map

The West Fork Obey River carves a deep path through this portion of Overton County, defining a landscape of high ridges and secluded hollows. At the time of this 2010 survey, the rural character of the region remains centered around scattered post offices and family burial grounds that trace generations of upland settlement. Small communities and historical landmarks are anchored by the Allred Post Office and Crawford Post Office, while the topography is dominated by significant elevations such as Alpine Mountain, Stout Mountain, and Egypt Knob. The map reveals a high density of named hollows and ridges, including Hog Wallow Ridge and Medlock Hollow, which suggest a long history of local naming conventions tied to specific families and terrain features. Numerous cemeteries like Shiloh Cemetery and Phillips Cemetery are tucked into the hillsides, offering essential data for genealogists tracking local ancestry.
