About this map

Dividing Ridge and Paradise Ridge anchor the northern landscape of this region, where the terrain breaks into numerous hollows and creek branches. In the northwest, the Joelton Post Office and Joelton Cemetery serve as local landmarks near the sharp curve known as Devils Elbow. The area is marked by a network of family-named topographic features such as Johnson Hollow, Bennett Hollow, and Bear Hollow, reflecting long-standing local ties to the land. Moving south, the settlement of Germantown and the Whites Creek Post Office provide commercial and civic focal points.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with several small reservoirs including Sportsmans Lake, Lakewood Lake, and Browns Lake, each supported by its own dam. The map also documents numerous local burial grounds like Ivy Point Cemetery and the Union Hill Cemetery, providing valuable data for genealogical research. The transportation network is defined by major thoroughfares such as Brick Church Pike and Lickton Pike, which connect these rural communities to the growing Nashville periphery.
