About this map

Coon Mtn and the surrounding hollows of the Cumberland Plateau transition across the Alabama and Tennessee state line in this topographic record. The landscape is defined by its deep incisions, where settlements like Pleasant Grove and Bass are tucked into the broader valley of Crow Creek. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Cumberland Cem, Mershon Cem, and Sikes Cem, suggests a long-established pattern of rural homesteads throughout the numerous mountain coves. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the drainages of Little Coon Cr and Big Coon Creek, while the northern section reaches towards Anderson and Holly Flat Cove. Significant elevation changes are marked by landmarks like Summers Top and Steele Point, which overlook the complex network of county roads connecting small communities like Gonce and Rash.
