About this map

The Robertson Co Cheatham Co and Cheatham Co Davidson Co boundaries intersect in this varied landscape of ridges and hollows north of Nashville. The rugged terrain is defined by the winding course of Sycamore Creek and the southern waters of Marrowbone Lake, with numerous smaller water bodies like Lake Louise and Pals Lake scattered throughout the valleys. The road network follows historic routes such as the Old Clarksville Pike and Bearwallow Road, connecting scattered settlements and rural landmarks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of community centers, including Paines Chapel, Morny, and Greenville. Several localized institutions are noted, such as the St Lawrence Sch and Morny Sch, alongside numerous churches like New Hope Ch and Oakland Ch. Notable rural features include a Fish Hatchery near Little Marrowbone Creek and a Lookout Tower positioned on a high point above Morny, reflecting a mid-century period of land management and local utility.
