2022 Map of Laguardo

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, separating the southern outskirts of Gallatin in Sumner County from the rural reaches of Wilson County. The terrain is defined by dramatic river meanders, most notably Odoms Bend and Cairo Bend, which have shaped local settlement patterns and road networks like Cole's Ferry Rd. To the north, the urban expansion of Gallatin is anchored by Volunteer State Community College and the Music City Executive Airport, while the southern side of the river retains a more dispersed character centered around the community of Laguardo. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including the Vinson Family Cem, Newton Cem, and the Franklin Chapel Baptist Church Cem. The map captures the complex interaction between modern transportation corridors and the historical significance of the river as both a barrier and a resource, evidenced by numerous named branches like Lone Branch and Little Cr feeding into the main channel.
