About this map

Radnor Lake and its corresponding Radnor Lake Dam serve as a central geographic anchor for this suburban landscape south of Nashville. The area is defined by established residential enclaves such as Belle Meade, Oak Hill, and Forest Hills, where the winding topography dictates a complex network of roads including Granny White Pike and Tyne Blvd. The transition from urban density to more open terrain is visible as the map moves south toward Brentwood and Reed Hollow.

Industrial and scientific landmarks punctuate the map, from the sprawling Radnor Yards rail facility in the northeast to the Vanderbilt University Observatory overlooking the lake. Smaller aviation hubs like Anderson Airport and Murray Ohio Airport appear alongside historic interment sites such as Woodlawn Cemetery and the Johnson Chapel Cemetery. The hydrology of the region is mapped in detail, tracing the headwaters of Richland Creek and the meandering path of the Little Harpeth River through the southern valleys.
