About this map

Nashville Municipal Airport (Berry Field) and the Central State Hospital complex dominate the northern portion of this landscape, just before the significant suburban expansion into southeast Davidson County. The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad corridor serves as a primary axis, connecting the industrial and residential neighborhood of Woodbine and the extensive rail yards at Radnor to the community of Antioch.

Smaller rural settlements and crossroads like Una, Tusculum, and Wrencoe are visible alongside a dense network of local schools and churches, including Woodbine Sch, Rough Rock Sch, and Meade Chapel. The terrain transitions from the developed flats near the airport to the prominent high points of Patterson Knob and Holt Knob in the south. Many family-named landmarks and small burial sites like Whitsetts Cem and Murrell Cem offer specific touchpoints for local genealogists tracing the area's mid-century footprint.
