About this map

Nashville and the surrounding township of Brown County center this 2016 survey, a landscape defined by an intricate network of ridges and hollows. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks like Watton Hill, Lee Brown Ridge, and Bill Jack Ridge, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of this region. North Fork Salt Creek and its tributaries, including Lower Schooner Cr and Green Valley Cr, carve through the topography, feeding into significant water bodies such as Yellowwood Lake and Somerset Lake.

Genealogists can find important burial sites including Lanam Cem, South View Cem, and Hickory Hill Cem, while the road network shows the evolution of local transit through corridors like Lanam Ridge Rd and Harden Holler Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary view of small settlements like Lanam and Belmont, where the physical geography of features like Scarce of Fat Ridge continues to shape the community layout and land use.
