1952 Map of Nashville West

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep oxbow through this mid-century landscape, separating the dense urban core from the developing outskirts of Bordeaux and Jordonia. This era reveals a city defined by its institutional and educational pillars, with Fisk University, Meharry Medical College, and the Agricultural and Industrial State University established as major landmarks in the western reaches. The infrastructure of the period is highly visible, from the State Penitentiary along the riverbanks to the network of rail lines like the Louisville and Nashville Railroad that fueled the regional economy.
