About this map

Lebanon serves as the mid-century hub of Wilson County, defined by its educational institutions and transportation corridors during the early 1950s. The town's layout is anchored by Cumberland University and the Castle Heights Military Academy, reflecting a strong academic and military tradition. Transportation is dominated by the Tennessee Central RR, which bisects the town near the RR Sta and Courthouse.

Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into agricultural land and small crossroads settlements like Holloway and Leemans Corner. Numerous family cemeteries such as Hudson Cem and Ligon Cem are scattered throughout the rural landscape, offering vital clues for genealogical research. The map also highlights local landmarks like Horn Springs and the rising elevations of Seay Hill and Fourmile Hill, while specialized infrastructure like the Lebanon Airport and Mc Farland Hospital indicate the town's growth as a regional center.
