1955 Map of Forest Grove

About this map

Marrowbone Lake and Lake Louise sit at the heart of this mid-century landscape where Davidson, Cheatham, and Robertson counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Crocker Hollow and Beech Hollow, which drain into significant waterways like Sycamore Creek and Little Marrowbone Creek. The settlement pattern follows the high ground and the historic path of the Old Clarksville Pike, which cuts across the northern half of the sheet. Rural community life is anchored by numerous local institutions such as Paines Chapel, Oakwood Ch, and the Morny Sch. The presence of the Fish Hatchery near the southern boundary and the Lookout Tower near St Lawrence Sch suggests a managed landscape focused on conservation and monitoring during the post-war era.
