1961 Map of Greenbrier

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor anchors this mid-century portrait of Robertson and Davidson Counties, connecting the prominent settlements of Springfield, Greenbrier, and Ridgetop. This upland region is defined by a dense network of country roads like Betts Road and Worsham Springs Road, which serve a landscape dotted with rural institutions. Genealogists will find numerous family burial grounds including Savage Cem, Bloodworth Cem, and Baggett Cem, alongside community landmarks such as Wartrace Ch and the Oakland-Bethlehem Sch. South of Hygeia Springs, the terrain becomes more dissected as it falls toward Huffman Dividing Ridge and the headwaters of Sycamore Creek. The map documents a transition from traditional rural patterns to the inclusion of modern amenities like the Drive-in Theater near Courtland.
