About this map

Ashland City and its surrounding river valley are defined by the winding course of the Cumberland River, which here expands into Cheatham Lake. In this mid-century period, the landscape transitions from the developed county seat to the protected woodlands of the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area south of the river. The map details a community woven together by family-named landmarks and rural institutions, such as the Sweet Home Community Center and Sycamore Chapel.

Researchers will find a high density of genealogical data in the numerous small burial grounds like Fannie Field Cem and Turner-Pardue Cem, often situated near small settlements like Lockertsville and Bethlehem. The terrain is marked by significant features like Whisky Hill and Harpeth Island, while the local road network includes the Old Clarksville Pike, tracing the historical transit patterns through the hilly Tennessee countryside.
