About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Davidson and Williamson County line is defined by a complex network of knobs and hollows during the late 1950s. The settlement of Nolensville serves as a central hub, anchored by the Nolensville School and Nolensville Church. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like McMahan Knob and Chinquapin Hill, while drainage follows the winding path of Mill Creek and its various branches.

For genealogists, this map is a detailed record of mid-century rural life, preserving the locations of numerous family burial grounds such as Battle Cem, Pettus Cem, and McFarlin Cem. Transportation routes including the Louisville and Nashville Pike and Wilson Pike connect the scattered community institutions, from Holt Chapel in the west to Green Grove Church in the south, reflecting a period before modern suburban expansion reshaped the valley.
