About this map

The county seat of Livingston anchors this mid-century survey of Overton County, showing a landscape defined by prominent ridges and deep coves. The town's early infrastructure is well-marked, from the central courthouse area to the Livingston Municipal Airport and the prominent water tank. To the north, the terrain rises toward Palestine Mountain and Reynolds Mountain, where small family-named settlements like Allons and Monroe are connected by a network of rural roads.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous small burial grounds such as Stover Cem and Nelson Cem, alongside rural social hubs like Free Communion Ch and Independence Sch. Industrial and resource features are noted as well, with the Garretts Mill on Big Eagle Creek and a localized Strip Mine north of town, reflecting the area's mixed agricultural and extraction history during the 1950s. The northern edge captures the waters of Dale Hollow Lake and the boundaries of the Standing Stone State Forest.
