2010 Map of Bellwood

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep path through north-central Tennessee on this 2010 map, defining a landscape of dramatic bends and river-bottom bottomlands. The settlement of Centerville sits south of the river, acting as a focal point for a network of rural roads that connect family-owned tracts and historic burial grounds. Genealogists will find a high concentration of local history here, with numerous family-named landmarks such as Tomlinson Cemetery, Speck Cemetery, and Bass Cemetery scattered across the uplands. Significant terrain features like Spanish Needle Knob and the various bluffs—including Whites Bluff and Belchers Bluff—illustrate the varied elevation that overlooks the river. The presence of Old Hickory Lake and its associated islands, such as Cedar Creek Island, highlights the intersection of the natural river system and modern water management near the Coleman-Winston Memorial Bridge.
