1958 Map of Bellwood

About this map

Cumberland River oxbows dominate this landscape, creating the deep loops of Beasleys Bend and Puryears Bend before the waters reach Old Hickory Lake. The 1958 field check captures the area during a period of transition, noting the U.S. Reservation boundaries and the Coleman-Winston Memorial Bridge crossing near Hartsville Island. Small settlements and family landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, from Centerville and Taylorsville to the south, up toward Barthelia in the northwest.
