2010 Map of Monticello

About this map

Monticello serves as the primary hub of this Wayne County landscape, situated where Elk Spring Creek winds through Elk Spring Valley. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Foster Hollow, Draughn Hollow, and Elk Ridge, reflecting the complex topography of the Cumberland Plateau foothills. Smaller rural communities like Spann, Oil Valley, and the interestingly named Number One are connected by a web of local roads, including Indian Cave Rd and Bertram Hollow Rd. Family history is deeply rooted in this area, evidenced by numerous burial grounds like Kendrick Cemetery, Lonely Cemetery, and the Ingram-Vickery-Goodard Cemetery. To the south, the terrain rises toward Coffey Mountain and Sulphur Spring Mountain, creating a natural divide near Wray Gap.
