2022 Map of Crawford

About this map

Allred and Crawford are central hubs in this dissected region of Overton County, where the West Fork Obey River carves deep into the landscape near Daddy Ridge. This terrain is characterized by numerous hollows and knobs, which historically dictated the placement of settlements and family cemeteries. Genealogy researchers can find several burial grounds including Allred Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Speck Cem. The road network, though modern, follows traditional paths through locations like Happy Hollow and Gam Hollow, while the surrounding heights of Alpine Mtn and Egypt Knob illustrate the steep relief that has long defined life in this part of the Upper Cumberland. Small communities like Twinton and Windletown sit tucked away, preserving the 20th-century rural Tennessee settlement pattern where homes and small farms are clustered along mountain ridges and creek bottoms.
