1935 Map of Lebanon

About this map

Scott Field stands as the dominant feature of this mid-1930s landscape in Shiloh Valley. This specific survey highlights early aviation infrastructure, explicitly labeling a Hangar and a Mooring Mast, reflecting the airfield's significance during the era of dirigibles and early military flight. The surrounding area remains largely agricultural, punctuated by small rural hubs like Grassland, which is served by the Southern railroad line. Local education and community life are anchored at Cherry Grove Sch and Grassland Sch, while Silver Creek meanders along the eastern edge of the surveyed area. This map provides a rare, high-detail look at the airfield's layout and its relationship to the existing regional road network, including State Hy No 161 and U.S. Hy No. 50, just before significant mid-century expansions changed the local topography.
