About this map

The Hermitage, the historic home of Andrew Jackson, anchors this detailed landscape where the legacy of the Old South meets late-20th-century suburban development. Located along the boundary between Davidson and Wilson counties, the map highlights the transition of rural estate lands into organized communities like Mount Juliet and Lakewood. Significant genealogical markers are scattered throughout, including the Confederate Memorial Cem and the Hermitage Memorial Gardens.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the controlled waters of Old Hickory Lake and the Percy Priest Reservoir, which support numerous recreational zones such as the Seven Points Public Use Area and Long Hunter State Park. These reservoirs transformed the drainage of Stoners Creek and the Stones River, creating a complex of peninsulas and coves that redefined local transport and land use. Local landmarks like Rachels and the Tomb near the main plantation house offer specific points of interest for researchers of the Jacksonian era.
