About this map

The Duck River winds through a landscape of tight hollows and sharp bends in this 2019 survey of the Tennessee interior. Marked by a distinctive network of family-named landmarks, the area preserves the geographic imprint of early settlement patterns, particularly around the small communities of Only and Coble. The river's path is defined by sharp geological features like Horseshoe Bend and Lower Lowe Bend, where the terrain drops into Blue Rock Shoals and Gullet Chute.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous rural burial grounds, including McClanahan Cem, Wolf Creek Cem, and Murphree Cem. The map reveals a deeply etched topography where names like Grandmother Hollow and Meetinghouse Hollow reflect generations of residency. Local infrastructure is highlighted by landmarks such as the Beaverdam Bridge and the Grandmothers Building, showing the intersection of human habitation and the complex river system.
