About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across this landscape, separating the headwaters of numerous creeks that descend into the deep hollows and coves of the Cumberland Plateau. The settlement of Hillsboro serves as a central hub, surrounded by a high concentration of family cemeteries such as Crockett Cem, Simmons Cem, and Winton Cem, which speak to the deep genealogical roots in this portion of Coffee County.

The geography is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the level agricultural fields near Asbury to the steep limestone terrain of Henry Cove and Lusk Cove. These coves, including the prominent Hubbard Cove on the eastern edge, are fed by numerous springs like Blue Spring and Cowan Spring. The network of country roads, such as Asbury Church Rd and Hillsboro Viola Rd, traces the historical travel patterns between established communities like Winton Town and Stephenson.
