About this map

Ardmore sits at the intersection of five counties and two states, serving as a significant border community where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks cut through the town's core. The landscape is heavily marked by late-19th and early-20th-century rural infrastructure, including the historical Chickasaw Boundary line crossing the southern portion of the sheet. Numerous small family burial grounds and community landmarks like Delap-Clement Cem, Gatlin Cem, and Lewter Chapel reveal the ancestral footprint of the region's farming families.

Water systems define the local geography, with Piney Creek and Little Limestone Creek draining the undulating terrain. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Pine Dale School, Wooley Springs Sch, and Pisgah Sch. This 1958 Tennessee Valley Authority survey, updated with 1975 photographic revisions, captures the area during a period of transition, showing the early development of a Sewage disposal plant and a local Substation alongside traditional landmarks like Mays Chapel and the Mable Hill Ch.
