About this map

Calfkiller River winds through this rugged portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the borders of Putnam, White, and Cumberland counties converge. The topography is defined by deep incisions like England Cove, Davidson Cove, and Long Hollow, which create a complex network of ridges and basins. Near the town of Monterey, Monterey Lake Number One sits atop the plateau, serving as a significant water feature for the highland community.

Smaller settlements and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the valleys, including Taylors, Board Valley, and Mill Creek. Local genealogy is well-represented by several burial sites, such as Big Springs Cem, France Cem, and Henry Cem. The transition from the high plateau to the lower coves is marked by steep elevation changes, particularly around France Mtn and the numerous hollows like Stamps Hollow and Dark Hollow that feed into the primary river system.
