2022 Map of Noah

About this map

The Garrison Fork and its numerous tributaries carve a landscape of deep hollows and prominent ridges across this section of Coffee and Bedford Counties. Small rural hubs like Noah and Beechgrove anchor a network of family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds. The mapping of Lowe Hollow, Noryell Hollow, and Crosslin Hollow reveals a settlement pattern deeply influenced by the narrow valleys. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many family-named cemeteries, such as Sartain Cem, Ferrell Cem, and Kendall Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. Along the eastern edge, the Duck River and its branches, including Muddy Br and Clear Br, define the boundaries near Lewis Store and the community of Gnat Hill. The geography is further punctuated by local landmarks like Huffman Spring and Floyd Pond, illustrating the importance of water sources in this upland terrain.
