About this map

Ashland City serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated along the northern banks of the Cumberland River and Cheatham Lake. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Sycamore Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sugar Fork Creek and Spring Creek, which carve through the terrain. The presence of the Tennessee Central railroad line highlights the importance of river-and-rail connectivity for the county seat and neighboring settlements like Lockertsville and Bethlehem.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from numerous family burial sites like Walker Cem and Turner-Pardue Cem to community hubs including the Sweet Home Community Center and Triangle Community Center. The southern portion of the quadrangle is largely occupied by the Cheatham State Wildlife Management Area, showing the transition from agricultural and residential use to protected woodlands and river bluffs.
