2010 Map of Normandy

About this map

The Duck River snakes through the heart of the Tennessee countryside, anchoring a landscape defined by century-old family legacies and rural infrastructure. Near the town of Normandy, the river’s path is marked by historical crossing points such as Dement Bridge and the Shofner Bridge. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds including Maupin Cemetery, Roberts Cemetery, and Hornaday-Miles Cemetery, providing a spatial record of the area’s early settlers. The topography transitions from the waters of Cortner Lake to prominent elevations like Meadows Hill and the distinctive Saltpeter Bluff. To the south, small-scale aviation is represented by the Parish Aerodrome Airport near the North Fork Rock Creek. This record documents the enduring rural character of Coffee and Bedford counties, where traditional land use and local geography remain closely tied to the drainage basins of Shipman Creek and Thompson Creek.
