2016 Map of Beechgrove

About this map

Beechgrove and Bradyville anchor this mid-2010s survey of the high ground between the Duck River and Garrison Fork. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and a dense network of family-named hollows and ridges, reflecting generations of upland settlement. This area is remarkably dense with family burial grounds, including the Jacobs Bowman Cem, Donnell Cem, and Manley Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Small crossroads communities like Gossburg and Hoodoo sit along the winding valley roads, while newer developments like Lakewood Park appear near the eastern boundary. The topography is intricately carved by numerous branches and forks, such as Brawleys Fork and Norton Br, illustrating the historical reliance on these watercourses for defining property lines and early transportation routes through the hills.
