About this map

The East Fork Obey River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Fentress County, where the settlements of Riverton, Little Crab, and Helena are perched among the high ridges and hollows. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, featuring prominent peaks such as Skinner Mtn and Double Top, and numerous narrow drainages like Big Indian Cr and Little Crab Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, as the map is densely populated with small family and community burial grounds, including the Robbinstown Cem, Beatytown Cem, and Wright Cem. These sites, often situated near old road networks like Winningham Rd and Manson Rd, point to the enduring family lineages in the rural communities of Manson, Boatland, and Glenobey. The western edge of the quadrangle touches the waters of Dale Hollow Lake, reflecting the intersection of local geography and larger regional water systems.
