1982 Map of Bethesda

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Duck River Ridge and Divide form the topographic backbone of this landscape, separating the northward-flowing drainage of the Harpeth River from the Tennessee River Valley to the south. Historically centered on the settlements of Bethesda and Peytonsville, the area is defined by a dense concentration of family cemeteries—such as Hardeman Cem, Martin Hughes Cem, and Shuemate Cem—that reflect generations of local settlement patterns. This 1980s-era snapshot captures the region before significant suburban expansion, showing a transition toward modern institutional development with the appearance of Fred J Page High School and the Midview Community Center. The terrain is characterized by a series of hollows, including Bennett Hollow and Johnson Hollow, which historically dictated the winding path of local roads and the placement of country churches like Harpeth Valley Chapel and Bethesda Ch.
