3D Battlefield

Battle of Nashville Defensive Positions in 3D

These are several defensive positions of the Confederate and Union Armies during the Battle of Nashville in 3D. Google Maps imagery was used to visualize the landscape in three dimensions. The terrain should be within 6 feet of the actual surface. Note: the Cumberland River was much lower in 1864 due to the absence of dam’s downstream.

The portions are accurate locations, but the earthworks are of an unknown type, so this is just an approximation.

    Hello Bob-
    I am a descendant of the original owners of the Davidson home. I stumbled across your blog in doing some research on the cavalry skirmish. If you are willing, please contact me as you appear to have a wealth of information which may help me. Thanks
