About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Tennessee, defining the border between Cheatham and Davidson counties. The landscape is characterized by its sharp elevation changes, where numerous named hollows like Tidwell Hollow and McCord Hollow drain into the river valley. The settlement of Scottsboro sits centrally near the river’s north bank, while the western edge shows the outskirts of Ashland City.

Infrastructure is anchored by aviation and residential growth, featuring both the John C Tune Airport near Cockrill Bend and the smaller Oakley Airport. Evidence of the region’s water management and recreation is visible at Cheatham Lake and around Collins Lake, while the southeastern corner reflects the suburban expansion of Nashville through neighborhoods such as Charlotte Park and West Meade. The map documents a blend of protected riverine islands, including Gower Island and Robertson Island, alongside the developed hillsides of the Nashville basin.
