Natchez Trace maps from the park brochure

Here is the official Natchez Trace Parkway map from the National Park Service brochure. This edition was last updated in 2023. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

Below are four maps of the Natchez Trace that are similar to the one above but cropped down into bite-sized chunks to make it easier for printing and viewing. One caveat: these were last updated in the late-2010s, so they’re not quite as fresh as the 2023 map above.

Assorted Natchez Trace maps

This is a Natchez Trace birding map. Because the Trace crosses several ecoregions, almost every Southeast United States bird species can be seen here. This map shows where each ecoregion is found along the parkway.

Here’s a Gordon House map. The Gordon House is one of only two remaining buildings on the parkway from the era of the Old Trace, when it was a landmark letting travelers know that Nashville, TN was just ahead.

Archived Natchez Trace maps

As the National Park Service releases new maps of the Natchez Trace, I do my best to capture them on this page. I move older maps down to this section; if you see a map here, it means there’s a newer version further up this page. I preserve old maps here to tell the story of how the park changes over time.

This is the old official Natchez Trace map from the park brochure in the mid-2010s, showing the entire length of the trace from Mississippi to Tennessee. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.
