About this map

Livingston and the surrounding rural communities of Okalona and Oak Hill anchor this topographic survey of Overton County. The landscape is characterized by deep coves and named ridges, notably Hellhole Mtn, Brushy Mtn, and the distinctive Hog Wallow Ridge. The drainage of Roaring River and its tributaries, such as Matheus Br and Carr Creek, has carved a complex terrain of narrow valleys including Copeland Cove and Hartsaw Cove.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, such as the Polk Bilbrey Cem, Stephen Wells Cem, and Oakley Cem. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of this Highland Rim region, where local landmarks like York Gap and Bee Tree Ridge provide fixed points for historical research. From Rickman in the southwest to the heights of Gullet Mtn in the northeast, the survey detail includes everything from primary routes like Rickman Rd to secluded paths like Rock Quarry Ln.
