2022 Map of Harpeth Valley

About this map

Harpeth River meanders through the central corridor of this Tennessee landscape, defining the boundary between Cheatham and Dickson counties. The river's path is marked by dramatic geographical features such as Paint Rock Bluff and the sharp bend known as the Narrows of the Harpeth. This modern topographic study reveals a rural topography characterized by deep hollows like Lower Forge Hollow and prominent ridges such as Sampson Ridge. Small, established communities including Germantown, Petway, and White Bluff are linked by a network of local roads such as Claylick Rd and Taylortown Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of the Nosegay Cem and Williams Cem provides essential points of reference for family research. The map also highlights unique man-made water features, including the Hava-Lakatu Lakes west of Claylick.
