About this map

Monterey serves as a prominent highland hub on the Cumberland Plateau, where the headwaters of the Falling Water River and Spring Cr begin their descent through deep hollows. This 2022 survey captures the modern road network around Sand Springs and Pinhook, while preserving the locations of ancestral sites like Welch Memorial Cem and Walker Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic overlooks and elevated points including Bee Rock and Table Rock Mtn, offering a clear view of the complex topography of Eldridge Cove and Stamps Cove.

The boundary between Overton Co and Putnam Co weaves through the northern section of the map, cutting across ridges such as Blaylock Mtn and Potato Hill Mtn. This intersection of political boundaries and physical barriers like Thorn Gap illustrates how the landscape has historically dictated movement and settlement patterns in this part of Tennessee. Smaller communities like Shady Grove and Bilbrey remain distinct along the winding secondary roads that follow the contours of the plateau.
