1951 Map of Theta

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Natchez Trace Parkway winds through the hills of the Tennessee Divide, marking a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges at the mid-century border of Williamson and Maury Counties. The area's rural character is evident in the dense network of family-named landmarks and small community centers like Theta and Boston. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, from Carlisle Cem and Andrews Cem to Blackman Cem, alongside scattered houses of worship such as Taylor Chapel and Chestnut Ridge Church. The terrain is characterized by steep drainage systems like Skelly Hollow and Pennywinkle Hollow, which flow toward the Duck River. At Bending Chestnut, the Bending Chestnut Lookout Tower stands as a focal point for the region, overlooking the complex topography of the Duck River Ridge.
