Clarksville is located at the confluence of the Cumberland and Red rivers. In 1779 a group of early settlers from Eastern Tennessee traveled on the Daniel Boone Wilderness Road and established themselves in Clarksville, building an iron plantation in Cumberland Furnace. A year later, flat boats destined for what would become Nashville made their way up the Cumberland River a small contingent of the group broke off and settled in Clarksville. The town was designated to be settled by members of George Washington's Continental Army in the years following the conclusion of the American Revolution.
After the end of the American Civil War, Clarksville experienced a period of growth and transformation as economic opportunities became more prevalent with thriving tobacco farms and increased access by the expansion of the Louisville-Nashville Railroad. This bird's eye perspective was produced and published by one of the early pioneers of the form Albert Ruger who was one of the first lithographers to make maps in this style.
