About this map

The Putnam and White County boundary cuts across this landscape of high plateaus and deep coves, where the Falling Water River flows near the eastern edge of Cookeville. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct natural hollows and elevations, including Phifer Mtn, Burnett Mtn, and the expansive Dry Valley. Settlement patterns follow these geological features, with communities like Goffton and Board Valley situated near significant terrain changes.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers throughout the region, including the Bartlett Graveyard and several smaller family or community burial grounds such as Robinson Chapel Cem, Nash Cem, and Hill Cem. The map illustrates the hydrology of the area through features like the Big Sink, Post Oak Cr, and Cherry Cr, which navigate the complex network of coves, including Whittaker Cove, Stone Cove, and Burgess Cove.
