2019 Map of Hornbeak

About this map

Hornbeak serves as a central hub in this western Tennessee landscape, where a dense network of local roads like W Main St and Jackson Hill Rd connects rural farming communities. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Glady Hollow and Burnt Mill Hollow, which channel water toward Pawpaw Cr and the Clover Creek system. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites preserved in the record, such as Antioch Baptist Cem and Obion Chapel Cem. Small settlements like Elbridge and Glass mark the southern reaches of the quadrangle, while the northwestern corner near Samburg transitions toward the unique topography surrounding the Reelfoot Lake region. The distribution of these family-named cemeteries and crossroads, such as Lassiter Corner, provides a clear view of the longstanding community structure in Obion County.
