2014 Map of Nashville West

About this map

The Withlacoochee River and its meandering tributary, the New River, form a persistent boundary between Cook and Berrien counties. This landscape is defined by its agricultural legacy, where small settlements like Chaserville, Cottle, and Massee serve as centers for a network of rural roads often named for local families. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Old Nashville Cem, West View Cem, and the remote Sandy Bluff Cem. Landmarks such as Buckholts Bridge and Long Bridge mark established crossing points over the river systems, while Beulah Church stands as a focal point for the community west of Nashville. The abundance of smaller waterways like Wolf Br and District Br illustrates the complex drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early homesteads and farms in this region.
