1981 Map of Leipers Fork

About this map

Backbone Ridge dominates the western topography of this 1980s landscape, while the Harpeth River carves intricate bends like Lumsden Bend to the north. This survey captures a rural Williamson County in transition, where legacy estates like Montpier Farms and Battlewood Estates sit alongside numerous family burial grounds. The mapping of multiple Slave Cem locations and an Indian Mound near Bradley Bend provides significant archaeological and genealogical data. Transport networks are deeply layered, showing the L&N Railroad and the Old Railroad Grade alongside historic thoroughfares such as the Old Charlotte Road and Del Rio Pike. In the south, the village of Leipers Fork serves as a local anchor near the West Fork Leipers Fork, illustrating a settlement pattern defined by the region's prominent hollows and creek valleys.
