About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this eastern segment of Nashville, defining a landscape of suburban expansion and infrastructure. In the north, Old Hickory Lake dominates the shoreline near Lakewood, while the sprawling Nashville International Airport occupies the southern reaches. This late-century layout shows the dense residential grids of Inglewood and Donelson contrasted with the expansive green spaces of Spring Hill Cemetery and Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Transit corridors like the Briley Parkway and CSX Transportation lines bridge the river's bends, connecting historic pockets like Mudtavern and Haysboro. The map documents a mix of aviation history at Cornelia Fort Airpark and public recreation at Shelby Park and the Nashville Shores Recreation Area, illustrating how the metropolitan area has integrated its riverfront with large-scale utility and leisure developments.
