About this map

Antioch and the surrounding Davidson County suburbs appear here in a state of rapid transition during the late 1960s, with extensive urban revisions added in the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Mill Creek and the heavy infrastructure of the Seaboard railroad and Murfreesboro Road. Significant institutional presence is marked by the Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute and several schools like Glencliff High Sch.

Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Whitsett Cem, Wright Cem, and Patterson Cem. The eastern edge of the map shows the emerging shoreline of the J Percy Priest Reservoir, while prominent elevations like Holt Knob and Patterson Knob provide a glimpse into the original topography before suburban expansion fully reshaped the area between Brentwood and the metropolitan Nashville core.
