1980 Map of Lanesboro

Evidence of early community life is found at the Lanesboro Cem and the more remote Salisbury Cem to the southeast. The map details the local infrastructure of the late 1970s, from the Vador Bridge crossing the river to the presence of numerous flowing wells and a small Landing Strip. Several gravel pits and a prominent Radio Tower mark the era's light industry and communications, while multiple county parks like Merritt County Park suggest a landscape valued for both its productivity and public access.
