About this map

Hilham serves as a central hub in this section of the Cumberland Plateau, where the landscape is defined by deep hollows and prominent ridges. The presence of the Hilham PO and a dense concentration of family burial sites, such as the Gore - Poston Family Cem and Hawkins Family Cem, suggests a long-established rural community structure rooted in ancestral landholdings. To the north, the settlement of Timothy sits near the headwaters of Mill Creek, while Holly Springs lies to the southeast near Walter Spring.

Transport routes like Old Standing Stone Rd and Baptist Ridge Rd follow the natural contours of the terrain, weaving between heights like Goodpasture Mtn and Wilson Mtn. Waterways including Wet Mill Creek and Bryans Fork drain the dissected plateau, carving out features like Johnson Cove. This survey preserves the exact locations of numerous smaller cemeteries, such as the Johnie Humpy Brown Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research in Overton County.
