The Obey City settlement and its surroundings on the Cumberland Plateau are defined by a complex landscape of narrow hollows and high ridges along the border of Overton County and Putnam County. This 1946 survey, later updated with aerial photography, reveals an economy and lifestyle shaped by rugged topography and resource extraction. Evidence of industrial activity is scattered throughout the drainages, including numerous strip mines and a notable Dismantled Railroad that once navigated the sharp relief of the hills.
