1968 Map of Scottsboro

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Whites Bend and Cockrill Bend dominate the path of the Cumberland River as it winds through this 1968 landscape on the outskirts of Nashville. The map captures a transitional moment where the industrial and institutional presence of the State Penitentiary and the Central Illinois Railroad meets the growing residential subdivisions of Charlotte Park and West Meade. Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Bells Hollow and McCord Hollow, which isolate small community landmarks like the Scottsboro Mission and New Hope Ch. The creation of Cheatham Lake is evident, showing its effect on the low-lying islands and riverbanks. Genealogists will find value in the scattered cemeteries and rural school sites like Wade Sch, which served families before the suburban expansion reached deep into these wooded hills.
