2022 Map of Whites Creek

About this map

Paradise Ridge and Dividing Ridge form the elevated backbone of this region north of Nashville, where the landscape is defined by deep hollows and narrow valleys. This 2022 survey captures a transition from the denser residential development of Germantown and Little Creek to the more rural, wooded character of Whites Creek and Lickton. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns, with Earthman Fork and Whites Cr carving through named features like Johnson Hollow and Bear Hollow. Numerous community landmarks remain preserved in the landscape, including Union Hill Cem and Beech Grove Cem, serving as critical touchpoints for genealogists. The map also highlights established transportation routes such as Lickton Pike and Brick Church Pike, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and creek beds that have dictated settlement patterns for generations.
