1898 Map of Standingstone

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

The rugged ascent of the Cumberland Plateau defines this late 19th-century landscape, where early Tennessee pioneers carved settlements into deep coves and narrow hollows. Central to the region is the village of Standingstone and the higher elevation town of Monterey, which sit near the intersection of several county boundaries. The map documents an era when the Knoxville and Nashville Road served as a primary artery through the hills, connecting isolated hamlets like Netherland and Algood. Family history is deeply rooted in the landscape through features like Garretts Mill and the numerous named coves such as Copeland Cove and Johnson Cove. Rural community life is anchored by small congregations at Shady Grove and Cedar Springs, while the unusual geological feature known as The Horse Pound stands as a landmark on the eastern edge of the plateau.
