2019 Map of Franklin

About this map

Franklin and the southern reaches of Brentwood are captured here during a period of significant suburban expansion in Williamson County. This topographic study reveals a landscape defined by its historic memory, where modern developments like the Mack C Hatcher Memorial Pkwy intersect with ancestral sites such as the Boiling Springs Mounds and numerous family burying grounds. The Harpeth River and its many tributaries, including Liberty Cr and Spencer Cr, thread through the terrain, anchoring older communities like Ewingville and Clovercroft. Local heritage is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by the concentration of sites like the Confederate Cem and McGavock Cem. To the east and south, the map documents smaller crossroads and locales such as Trinity, Millview, and the curiously named Mudsink, providing a detailed view of the county's transition from rural farmsteads to a primary residential hub.
