1936 Map of Beech Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Garrison Fork and its numerous tributaries, such as Patton Hollow Branch and McBride Branch, dominate this 1930s landscape where the Barren Plateau meets the central Tennessee basin. Centered around the settlement of Gossburg and the southern village of Beech Grove, the area exhibits a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions typical of the era. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, including the Jernigan Cem, Mt Hebron Cem, and Manley Cem. The map reveals a transition from the highlands of the Robinson Ridge down toward the Duck River, with social life anchored by country schools like Gossburg Sch and Gnat Hill Sch. Travel in this period was defined by the early routes of U.S. Hy. No. 41 and State Hy. No. 2, which provided essential links between these small Coffee County communities.
