1955 Map of Whites Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Dividing Ridge and Paradise Ridge form the primary topographic backbone of this area north of Nashville, creating a landscape of deep hollows and narrow valleys. This 1955 survey, updated in 1975, reveals a network of small rural settlements including Joelton, Whites Creek, and Lickton connected by historic routes like Clarksville Hwy and Old Hickory Blvd. The terrain is characterized by numerous named valleys like Bennett Hollow and Trantham Hollow, which drain into larger water bodies such as South Fork Sycamore Creek. Local institutional life is well-documented through several country churches including Spring Hill Ch and the Alex Green Sch. The presence of the Television Tower (WLAC) and a Rock Quarry near Devils Elbow indicates the encroaching industrial and communication infrastructure serving the nearby state capital.
