About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as the primary corridor through this portion of Robertson and Davidson counties, anchoring settlements from the outskirts of Springfield down through Greenbrier and Ridgetop. This 1961 survey, updated with 1970s cultural revisions, reveals a landscape defined by its rural institutions and family history. Numerous small cemeteries like Coggins-Greer Cem and Savage Cem are situated near community hubs such as Wartrace Ch and Lights Chapel Ch.

The topography is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Carr Creek and Wartrace Creek, which flow toward the prominent Dividing Ridge at the southern boundary. Local industry and recreation are represented by the Storage Bins near Springfield and the presence of Watauga Lake and a Drive-in Theater. The transition from agrarian land to early suburban development is visible in the placement of the Oakland-Bethlehem Sch and the Springfield Memorial Gardens.
