About this map

Hillsboro and Asbury anchor this 2013 survey of the Tennessee landscape where the Highland Rim meets the Cumberland Plateau. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct gaps and coves, including Lusk Gap, Henry Cove, and Stillhouse Hollow, which dictate the local road network. The rural character is reinforced by numerous springs and branches that feed into Bradley Cr and Beans Cr, illustrating the area's complex hydrology.

Modern water management is evident in the southeast with the Cumberland Mountain Lake and Cowan Spring. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks such as Winton Town and various roads like Vernon Winton Rd and Ragsdale Rd, which show how settlement patterns followed the natural contours of the land. The presence of Stillhouse Hollow and several named springs suggests a landscape historically defined by its water sources and narrow valley topography.
