1968 Map of Nashville West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Nashville and its western suburbs undergo significant infrastructure expansion during the late 1960s, a period marked by the intersecting corridors of the Louisville and Nashville RR and an evolving interstate network. The urban core is anchored by the State Capitol, while the city's educational legacy is prominent through the campuses of Vanderbilt University, Fisk University, and Meharry Medical College. The winding path of the Cumberland River dictates the industrial and institutional layout, passing the State Penitentiary and the State Prison For Women near Bordeaux. In the more residential reaches like Charlotte Park and Berry Hill, local life is mapped through many neighborhood institutions such as St Marys Orphanage and the VA Hospital. This survey documents a critical junction of traditional rail-based industry and the post-war growth of medical and academic centers.
