About this map

Monteagle sits atop the Cumberland Plateau, serving as a focal point for this 2010 survey of the surrounding mountain landscape. The geography is defined by dramatic elevation changes where the plateau breaks into numerous coves and points, including Bridal Veil Cove and Gaines Cove. Water features are abundant throughout the terrain, from the Jumpoff Falls and Monteagle Falls to man-made landmarks like Tom McBee Lake and Laurel Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites scattered across the ridges and valleys. Several small cemeteries are documented, such as Lappin Cemetery, White Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery. The mapping also highlights the complex drainage system of the region, featuring Battle Creek and the Mitchell Cove Branch, which have carved out distinctive features like The Narrows and The Pinnacles over time.
