2019 Map of Hilham

About this map

The community of Hilham serves as a central hub in this section of Overton County, where the plateau landscape is deeply carved by watercourses like Bryans Fork and Buffalo Br. The area is notably dense with family burial grounds and small community graveyards, which provide a rich geographic record for genealogical research. Prominent sites include the Gore-Poston Family Cemetery to the west and the Johnie Humpy Brown Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle. Northward, the terrain transitions toward the waters of Dale Hollow Lake near the Clay County line. High points such as Goodpasture Mountain and Wilson Mountain overlook a network of rural roads, including Old Standing Stone Road, that trace the ridges and hollows of this highland region.
