2013 Map of Hornbeak

About this map

The settlement of Hornbeak serves as the central hub of this Obion County landscape, situated where several regional roads converge. The area is defined by a network of small communities including Jacksonville, Elbridge, and Minnick, reflecting a rural settlement pattern deeply connected to the local topography. Water features such as Indian Cr and Pawpaw Cr drain the terrain, while landmarks like Glady Hollow Lake and Luker Lake punctuate the agricultural land. Evidence of earlier industrial or communal activity can be found in place names like Burnt Mill Hollow and Antioch Church Rd, which suggest the historic locations of essential local services. To the northwest, the land dips toward Reading House Slough, marking a transition in the hydrology of the Tennessee countryside. The dense web of named secondary roads, from Clover Creek Rd to Ira Barker Rd, provides a clear view of the established property lines and family routes that have shaped this portion of the state.
