2016 Map of Bellevue

About this map

The Harpeth River carves a winding path through the landscape southwest of Nashville, defining a series of prominent river bends including Hutton Bend, Beech Bend, and Sawyer Bend. This 2016 survey captures a region where historic transportation routes like the Old Charlotte Pike and Old Harding Rd intersect with modern development in Bellevue and West Meade. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail, which skirts past Backbone Ridge near the settlement of Pasquo. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Pasquo Cem and smaller communities such as Bethlehem and Newsom. The transition from the elevated terrain of Ninemile Hill and Sullivan Ridge down to the river valleys of Buffalo Cr and Trace Creek illustrates the complex topography that has shaped the suburban expansion of Davidson County into Williamson County.
