1994 Map of Whites Creek

About this map

Paradise Ridge and Dividing Ridge form the dominant geographic spine of this territory north of Nashville, creating a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow creek valleys. The settlement at Whites Creek sits at the heart of this network, where the North Fork and South Fork converge. The map illustrates a rural community structured around historic transit corridors like Old Hickory Blvd and Clarksville Pike, connecting small hamlets such as Joelton, Union Hill, and Lickton. Significant local institutions are well-represented, including the Alex Green Sch and several country churches like Spring Hill Ch and Walkers Ch. The presence of the Television Tower (WLAC) and Radio Towers (WLAC) near Ewing reflects the area's mid-century role in regional broadcasting, while landmarks like Devils Elbow highlight the winding, difficult terrain that shaped early road development.
