1951 Map of Nashville

About this map

Nashville serves as the focal point of this 1951 topographic survey, where the town’s grid is centered on its Courthouse and Post Office south of the Nashville Airport. The local economy and transport of the early 1950s are defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad, which cuts through the county seat toward the neighboring settlements of Clow and Tokio. The surrounding landscape is a network of small rural communities and family-named landmarks, such as Bingen and North Bingen, interspersed with numerous country houses of worship including Oak Grove Ch, Antioch Ch, and Unity Ch.
