About this map

The town of Monterey anchors the southeastern corner of this map, situated where the terrain begins to break into the complex hollows and coves characteristic of the Cumberland Plateau. The landscape is defined by its deep vertical relief, moving from named peaks like Kitty Ray Mtn and Turkey Mtn down into several "hollows" such as Dry Hollow and Welch Hollow. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of the Overton Co Putnam Co boundary, which cuts diagonally across the northeastern quadrant.

Smaller unincorporated communities like Shady Grove, Bilbrey, and Sand Springs are scattered throughout the hills, connected by a network of rural routes including Stamps Shady Grove Rd and Thorn Gap Rd. For those tracing local history, several family-named burial grounds are preserved on the sheet, such as Lee Cem and Walker Cem, alongside natural landmarks like the prominent Bee Rock and the waters of Gordan Hunter Lake.
