1968 Map of Oak Hill

About this map

Belle Meade and Oak Hill anchor this detailed landscape just south of Nashville, where suburban expansion meets the winding ridges of the Little Harpeth River valley. The map reveals a sophisticated mid-century community defined by institutions like the Vanderbilt University Observatory and Harpeth Hall Sch, alongside established religious centers such as St Pauls Ch and Harpeth Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed corridors of Green Hills and Berry Hill to the preserved waters of Radnor Lake, surrounded by significant elevation changes. Historically important transit routes, including the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Granny White Pike, segment the residential areas. The southern portion of the sheet shows the transition into Williamson Co, where more open land and scattered family-named landmarks like Reed Hol and Murry Branch characterize the geography.
