About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor serves as the backbone for development through Robertson County in this early 1960s study. Small towns and communities like Greenbrier, Ridgetop, and Hygeia Springs are positioned along the rail line and highways, showing a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural tracts to more suburban patterns. Local infrastructure is well-defined, including the Watauga High Sch and a Drive-in Theater near Courtland.

Deeply dissected terrain defines the southern portion of the map, where Dividing Ridge separates numerous creek systems. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history markers, from the Bloodworth Cem and Savage Cem to the Coggins-Greer Cem near the Robertson Co Davidson Co line. Water features such as Wartrace Lake and Greenbrier Lake are prominent landmarks within this rolling landscape of hollows and ridges.
