2022 Map of Lillamay

About this map

The Cumberland River and the winding Harpeth River define the terrain of this Cheatham County landscape, where deep hollows and high ridges dictate the local settlement patterns. Significant geological and cultural landmarks are visible along the river's path, most notably at the sharp oxbow of Horseshoe Bend and the prehistoric site of Mound Bottom. This area, managed in part by the U.S. Geological Survey, retains its rural character through small communities like Lillamay and Shacklett. Genealogists will find the locations of Scott Cem and Carney Cem particularly useful for tracing family roots in the vicinity of Ashland City. The topography is marked by numerous named drainages such as Sams Creek and Marrowbone Cr, which carve through the Sullivan Ridge area. The road network, including Old Sams Creek Rd and River Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the various gaps and springs that have sustained these communities for generations.
