1949 Map of Nashville

About this map

Brown County State Park dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, showcasing a complex network of ridges and hollows that define the regional geography. The county seat of Nashville sits at the junction of State Routes 46 and 135, serving as the primary hub for a scattered rural population. The drainage patterns of North Fork Salt Creek and its many tributaries, such as Clay Lick Creek and Green Valley Creek, dictated the placement of early infrastructure. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Greasy Creek Ch and isolated burial grounds like David Cem and Reeves Cem. Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Clark Sch and Mt Liberty Sch, while unique place names like Gnaw Bone and Pikes Peak highlight the distinct local identity of the area.
