About this map

McMillans Ferry provides a crossing point over the Cumberland River as it snakes through Monroe County in this 2010 topographic representation. The landscape is defined by its dramatic river bends, such as Turkey Neck Bend and Salt Lick Bend, where small rural communities like Coe and Blythe are situated. Family-named hollows and ridges, including Johnson Hollow and Pruitt Ridge, characterize the drainage patterns of several tributaries like Meshack Creek and Sulphur Creek.

Genealogists can find several family burial grounds, such as Kirkpatrick Cemetery and Smith Cemetery, often located on elevated terrain near settlements like Meshack. The road network follows the winding geography of the hills and hollows, with routes like Muse Hollow Rd and Thompson Ridge Rd connecting the scattered hamlets of Otia and Vernon. A Natural Tunnel near the northern boundary stands out as a unique geological landmark.
