2016 Map of Harpeth Valley

About this map

The Harpeth River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Cheatham and Dickson Counties, creating dramatic topographical features such as Johnson Bend, Collier Bend, and Bells Bend. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by the town of White Bluff in the southwest and smaller settlements like Petway, Germantown, and Claylick. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous creeks like Jones Creek and Leatherwood Cr feeding into the main river valley. Cultural landmarks provide depth for local history, including the Petway Bridge and family-named sites such as Nosegay Cem and Williams Cem. From the heights of Harpeth Ridge down to the secluded England Hollow, the map provides a contemporary record of land use and drainage patterns in this central Tennessee corridor.
