1936 Map of Coble

About this map

The Duck River carves a winding path through this portion of Hickman County, creating distinct geographic features like Horseshoe Bend, Wright Bend, and Lower Lowe Bend. Small agrarian communities such as Only and Coble serve as the primary hubs in a landscape dominated by river bends and hollows. The presence of Perogue Ford and the Beaverdam Bridge underscores the importance of river crossings in this pre-war era. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including the Macedonia Sch, Mt Zion Ch, and numerous family burial grounds such as Murphree Cem and Lowe Cem. Of particular interest is the Airway Beacon located on Schoolhouse Ridge, a technological addition to the rural skyline that highlights the development of early 20th-century aviation infrastructure in Middle Tennessee.
