2019 Map of Charlotte

About this map

The county seat of Charlotte serves as the focal point of this Dickson County landscape, where the historic courthouse area is bounded by Town Br and Town Branch Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of creek branches and hollows, including Harris Hollow and Lower Forge Hollow, which dictated the winding paths of early routes like Stage Rd and Old State Hwy 47. This survey preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Hickerson Cem, Nesbitt Cem, and Roberts Cem, many associated with rural crossroads like Promise and Dull. The density of these small cemeteries, including Rock Church Cem and Saint Pauls Cem, provides a detailed record of the long-standing settlement patterns in the Tennessee hills before the modern era's consolidation.
