2022 Map of Monterey Lake

About this map

The Calfkiller River carves a central path through this section of the Cumberland Plateau, where the borders of Putnam, White, and Cumberland counties meet. The landscape is defined by its numerous named hollows and coves, including Round Cove, England Cove, and Stamps Hollow, which have long dictated the patterns of settlement and transit in this part of Tennessee. Small communities such as Mill Creek, Board Valley, and Taylors are situated along the valley floors and lower ridges, reflecting the traditional rural character of the region. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites documented, such as Henry Cem, France Cem, and Crouse Cem. The northeastern corner is notable for Monterey Lake Number One, while the southern reaches contain landmarks like France Mtn and Cave Hill. This contemporary survey also tracks modern developments in the Cumberland Cove residential area, juxtaposing established family landmarks with newer road networks.
