1966 Map of Harpeth Valley

About this map

The Harpeth River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Dickson and Cheatham Counties, defining the landscape with dramatic meanders like Johnson Bend, Collier Bend, and Bells Bend. The rugged terrain of Harpeth Ridge and Sampson Ridge is dissected by numerous waterways, including Leatherwood Creek and Jones Creek. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of the region, where life centered around small communities and country churches such as Mt Olive Ch, Johnson Chapel, and Chapel Hill Ch.
