1955 Map of Hunters Point

About this map

The Cumberland River defines this region of Middle Tennessee, winding through sharp oxbows like Belotes Bend and Canoe Bend. By the mid-1950s, the formation of Old Hickory Lake significantly altered the shoreline, creating new recreation opportunities at Bledsoe Creek Camping State Park. Despite these changes, the rural character remains centered around historic crossroads and river landings. Settlements such as Cairo, Hunters Point, and Macedonia serve as local anchors, while the Nathan J Harsh Bridge provides a vital crossing near the confluence of Spring Creek.
