USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Cumberland River carves a dramatic series of oxbows across this landscape, defining the rural and institutional character of West Nashville. At Cockrill Bend, the massive State Reservation and Penitentiary occupy the isolated peninsula, while the nearby County Farm sits just across the water from Bordeaux. This period of development shows the city's growth pressing south and west, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railway and the Louisville and Nashville tracks intersect at Radnor.
