2013 Map of Riverton

About this map

E Fork Obey River winds through this section of the Cumberland Plateau, defining a landscape of deep hollows and high ridges in the years following the creation of Dale Hollow Lake. This 2013 survey illustrates a network of small, established rural communities such as Little Crab, Riverton, and Manson, connected by a winding system of local roads including Cricket Creek Rd and King Mountain Rd. The terrain is characterized by named elevations like Skinner Mountain and Double Top, interspersed with numerous hollows such as Dark Hollow and Taylor Hollow. The presence of Eastport Dock on the eastern edge of the reservoir suggests the importance of water-based recreation and access to the region. To the southeast, the settlements of Helena and Glenobey are situated near the headwaters of Poplar Cove Cr and Buffalo Cove Cr, highlighting the enduring pattern of valley-floor habitation in this part of Tennessee.
