2016 Map of Bellwood

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this region, creating a landscape defined by dramatic bluffs and fertile bends. Strategic crossings and river features like Whitleys Bluff, Belchers Bluff, and Goose Creek Bar underscore the waterway's role in the local geography. The map reveals a network of small agricultural communities including Centerville, Taylorsville, and Bellwood, situated near the convergence of Wilson and Smith counties. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family burial sites, such as Speck Cem, Jackson Cem, and Tomlinson Cem. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the drainage of Cedar Creek, while the modern Coleman-Winston Memorial Bridge provides a primary transit link across the river, connecting the northern bluffs to the valley settlements below.
