1968 Map of Nashville East

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this 1968 study of East Nashville, defining the deep loops of Neelys Bend and Pennington Bend. This era represents a period of significant suburban expansion, where established neighborhoods like Inglewood and Donelson meet newer infrastructure such as the Briley Parkway. The map captures a high density of civic and educational landmarks, including the campus of McGavock High Sch and the Tennessee Preparatory Sch, alongside the aviation history of the Cornelia Fort Airpark and the Nashville Metropolitan Airport.
