1968 Map of Antioch

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mill Creek winds through this landscape southeast of Nashville, serving as a primary drainage for a region undergoing rapid suburban transformation. The 1980s updates, shown in purple, illustrate the expansion of residential developments and highway infrastructure near Antioch and Tusculum. The northeastern corner is dominated by the Nashville Metropolitan Airport and the edges of the J Percy Priest Reservoir, while the southern reaches towards the Davidson-Williamson County line remain more punctuated by significant terrain features like Patterson Knob and Holt Knob. Institutional landmarks, including the sprawling Middle Tennessee Mental Health Institute, sit alongside legacy family sites such as Whitsett Cem and Paragon Mills Cem. This document captures the tension between the area's rural past and its integration into the Nashville metropolitan fabric, evidenced by the numerous schools like McMurray Jr High Sch and churches such as Whites Chapel that anchor these growing neighborhoods.
