About this map

Lillamay and Gravelotte sit along the high northern banks of the Cumberland River, positioned between the river's winding course and the rising hills of Cheatham County. This landscape is defined by the dramatic hydrology of middle Tennessee, where the Harpeth River forms the tight oxbow of Horseshoe Bend and the sharp ridge known as The Narrows. These landforms created naturally defensible and resource-rich sites, evidenced by the archaeological significance of Mound Bottom along the lower loop of the Harpeth.

To the south and west, the terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows and creeks, including Deep Springs Hollow and Stillhouse Br. This rural topography is dotted with small family settlements and landmarks like Shacklett and Pegram, while genealogical history is preserved at Scott Cem and Carney Cem. The map captures a transition from the river-oriented communities of the north to the more secluded valley and ridge settlements tucked away along Sams Creek and Mound Cr.
