2016 Map of Noah

About this map

Beechgrove and Gnat Hill anchor this topographic view of the Tennessee landscape where Coffee and Bedford counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named hollows and ridges, such as Rayburn Hollow, Cold Ridge, and Shelton Ridge, illustrating the long-standing community ties to the local geography. Significant water features including Normandy Lake and the Duck River shape the southern and eastern edges of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small family burial grounds like Patton Cem, Alley Cem, and Sartain Cem that dot the countryside. Along the eastern border, Strauss Mill and Boynton Valley mark the transition from the rolling hills toward the river valley, while Busy Corner serves as a notable crossroads in the central corridor.
