1957 Map of Clarksville

About this map

The confluence of the Cumberland River and Red River defines the landscape of Clarksville, Tennessee, at a mid-century period of significant expansion. The city's academic heart is anchored by Austin Peay State University, while the western edge transitions into the residential communities of New Providence and Ashland Hills. Of particular interest is the presence of Dunbar Cave State Park, encompassing Dunbar Lake and Dunbar Cave, which has served as a local focal point for generations. The 1984 update revisions, shown in purple, highlight the growth of suburban infrastructure and industrial footprints around St Bethlehem and the Seaboard rail line. Rural life remains visible through several neighborhood schools like Needmore Sch and Broomfield Sch, alongside numerous country churches including Oakland Ch and Spring Creek Ch.
