1997 Map of Nashville West

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep arc through the heart of this landscape, separating the dense urban grid of Nashville from the rising hills and northern suburbs of Bordeaux and Jordonia. This late-twentieth-century perspective reveals a city defined by its institutional legacy, notably the concentration of prominent educational and medical centers like Meharry Medical College, Fisk University, and Vanderbilt University. The industrial and civic evolution of the riverfront is visible near Cheatham + Lake, where the CSX Transportation lines and major arteries like Charlotte Ave intersect with historical landmarks including the State Penitentiary and the State Prison for Women. Local history is deeply embedded in the numerous cemeteries and religious sites, from the City Cem and Mt Ararat Cem in the south to St Marys Orphanage and Whites Creek Ch in the outlying districts.
