1903 Map of Greenbrier

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this region, its sharp meanders forming distinctive peninsulas like Bells Bend and Jones Bend just outside of Nashville. At the turn of the century, the river's navigational importance is marked by Lock No.1 and Lock No.2, while the surrounding landscape is defined by an extensive network of turnpikes including the Gallatin Pike and Charlotte Pike. To the north, the terrain rises toward Springfield and Greenbrier, where the Louisville and Nashville RR connects smaller ridge settlements.
