2010 Map of Nashville East

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a sweeping path through this landscape, defining the character of the riverfront near Lakewood and the southern reaches of Old Hickory Lake. Significant river crossings and historic landings are well-documented, including the Old Donelson Horse Ford, Woodyard Landing, and Hocketts Ford, illustrating the area's long-standing connection to water-based transport. Large tracts of land are dedicated to major municipal and social infrastructure, such as the Nashville International Airport and the Cornelia Fort Airpark. This geography also contains a concentration of significant historic burial grounds, including the expansive Mount Olivet Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery. These sites, alongside landmarks like Clover Bottom and the Home of the Aged, provide a detailed record of the community's development as it grew outward from the core of East Nashville.
