About this map

Whites Creek and the surrounding hills of northwest Davidson County are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns. The landscape is marked by prominent high points like Paradise Ridge and Dividing Ridge, which overlook a series of family-named hollows including Kaufman Hollow, Johnson Hollow, and Prock Hollow. These topographical features created distinct, localized communities at Lickton, Joelton, and Union Hill.

Water plays a central role in the geography of the area, with Crocker Spring Br and Claylick Cr carving paths through the terrain. The transition from the rural character of Williams Hills to more suburban developments like Bellshire and Dalemere reflects the northward expansion from the Nashville core. Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with Old Clarksville Pike and Old Hickory Blvd connecting these upland communities.
