1968 Map of Hermitage

About this map

The Hermitage Tomb serves as the focal point for this region east of Nashville, where the legacy of Andrew Jackson's estate meets mid-century suburban expansion. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Old Hickory Lake and Percy Priest Reservoir systems, which transformed the Stones River and Cumberland River basins into expansive public use areas. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural settlements like Mount Juliet and Hopewell to a more developed residential pattern, including the Lakewood and Green Hill communities.
