2016 Map of Coble

About this map

The Duck River meanders sharply through the heart of this Hickman County landscape, carving dramatic bends such as Horseshoe Bend and Burchard Town Bend. The settlement of Only sits just north of the river, while the community of Coble anchors the southeastern corner, connected by a network of rural roads like Coble To Only Rd. This area is characterized by a dense system of hollows, including Barren Hollow and Tarkiln Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of small cemeteries and family plots. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved here, such as King Cem, Blackwell Cem, and Wolf Creek Cem. Notable water features like Big Spring Lake Number Two and Blue Rock Shoals further define the local geography. The presence of the Grandmothers Building and numerous named bents and eddies along the river indicates a long-established relationship between the residents and the winding river corridor.
