2010 Map of Grassy Cove

About this map

Grassy Cove sits within a unique karst landscape defined by high ridges and subterranean drainage patterns. The valley is surrounded by significant elevations such as Brady Mountain and Black Mountain, which hem in the lowland settlements. This area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including Goodstock Cemetery Number One, Kemmer Cemetery, and Derossett Cemetery, reflecting a deep genealogical footprint in the Cumberland Plateau. Water features like Tranquilichee Lake and its accompanying Tranquilichee Lake Dam are found in the south, while several springs such as Newton Spring and Dripping Spring emerge from the limestone. The terrain is marked by curiosities like The Deadening near Hinch Mountain, suggesting historical land-clearing practices or specific ecological conditions unique to this mountain cove environment.
