1957 Map of Lascassas

About this map

East Fork Stones River meanders through this mid-century landscape, carving a fertile path through the undulating terrain of Rutherford and Wilson Counties. The rural character of the era is evidenced by a dense network of country roads, including Jefferson Pike and Veterans Hospital Road, which connect isolated farmsteads and small communities like Lascassas and Sharpsville. The map captures a high concentration of institutional landmarks vital to local genealogy, from the U S Veterans Hospital in the west to numerous family-named burial grounds like Patterson Cem and Boyd Cem.
