About this map

The William B. Bankhead National Forest occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain shifts from the agricultural plains of the north into the ridges and hollows of the Cumberland Plateau. This transition is marked by notable elevations such as Mull Mtn, Brushy Mtn, and Millfield Mtn, separated by deep cuts like Porter Hollow and Buzzard Cove. The area is rich in family history, evidenced by the dense distribution of small burial grounds including the Jackson-Shelton Cem, Dement Cem, and Paff Cem.

Central to the quadrangle is Oakville, a community situated near the Indian Mound and Oakville Pond. The water network defines the local geography, with West Flint Creek and its many tributaries, such as Oakville Pond Branch and Buck Branch, draining the region. To the west, Aldridge Grove and Beech Bottom sit at the edge of the forest, while the settlement of Speake serves as a local crossroads in the east-central portion of the map.
