About this map

The West Fork Obey River carves a deep path through this portion of Overton County, dictating the placement of early mountain settlements and family cemeteries. Small rural communities like Allred and Crawford are established along the valley floors and ridges, connected by winding routes such as Shiloh Rd and Cooktown Rd. The landscape is defined by its numerous named hollows and ridges, including Means Hollow, Daddy Ridge, and Hog Wallow Ridge, reflecting a long history of local land naming conventions.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Falling Springs Cem, Honey Springs Cem, and Shiloh Cem. Higher elevations like Alpine Mtn and Sisco Mtn overlook these traditional communities, while smaller clusters like Windletown, Cravenstown, and Twinton illustrate the historical settlement patterns of the Cumberland Plateau.
