About this map

The Hermitage Tomb and the surrounding grounds of the Andrew Jackson estate anchor the western portion of this 1968 landscape, situated just east of the Nashville city limits. The terrain transitions from the developed suburbs of Lakewood and Hopewell toward the growing community of Mount Juliet in the east. This period captures the region's mid-century expansion, evidenced by a dense network of schools like Andrew Jackson Sch and Dodson Sch, alongside numerous spiritual centers such as Lebanon Road Ch and New Hope Ch.

Major water bodies define the northern and southern boundaries, with Old Hickory Lake on the Cumberland River to the north and the sprawling J Percy Priest Reservoir to the south. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad cuts through the center, paralleling Lebanon Pike. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through sites like the Confederate Memorial Cem and family-named landmarks including Wright Cem and Baker Cem, providing a detailed look at the area's ancestral and civic foundations.
