About this map

Nashville serves as the hub of this Nash County landscape, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the center of town near the Courthouse and City Hall. The map reveals a community defined by its educational and religious institutions, featuring numerous schools like Nash Sch and Nash Central HS, alongside a dense network of rural churches such as Union Hill Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and St Paul Ch.

To the south, the terrain descends toward the Tar River Reservoir, where the Riverside Ch stands near the water's edge. This 1970s survey documents the transition of the area with established settlements like Sandy Cross and Langley Crossroads amidst a landscape of winding waterways, including Sapony Creek and Stony Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem and Oakland Cem.
