About this map

Ashland City serves as the focal point of this Cheatham County landscape, situated where the Cumberland River meets Marks Creek. The town's civic heart is marked by the Cheatham County Courthouse, surrounded by a dense network of local roads and several family-named burial grounds like Forest Hill Cem and the Allen Stack Cem. The surrounding terrain is characterized by deep hollows and ridges, including Teasley Hollow and Boston Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of small communities and homesteads.

Moving north and east, the map reveals distinct settlements such as Sycamore, Bethlehem, and Pleasant View. These areas are interconnected by historic routes like the Old Clarksville Pike. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small cemeteries scattered across the ridges, such as Teasley Cem, Hunt Cem, and Maxey Cem, which point to the long-standing family lineages in this river-bend region.
