2019 Map of Irving College

About this map

The Collins River carves a deep valley through the heart of this landscape on the border of Warren and Grundy counties. The unincorporated community of Irving College sits as a central hub for the surrounding rural area, which is defined by its series of coves and hollows including Safley Hollow and Wanamaker Cove. The topography is marked by significant rises such as Ben Lomond Mtn and Harrison Ferry Mtn, while the winding river course dictates the placement of early settlements and roads. Local history is anchored by sites like the Philadelphia Cem near Mount Olive and Mount Zion Cem to the north. Smaller communities like Safley and the river-side location at Turners Bend reflect a pattern of development tied to the available bottomland and water sources like Hills Creek and Scott Creek.
