About this map

The Lewisburg landscape in the mid-1960s reflects a bustling county seat shaped by its transit corridors and agricultural roots. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad cuts through the eastern side of town, supporting industrial sites like the quarry and several training schools. Residential growth is evident in named subdivisions such as Hickory Heights, Wallace Acres, and Lincoln Park, which expanded the town's footprint toward the north and east.

Beyond the urban center, the terrain is defined by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites. A high density of small burial grounds, including Welch Cem, Doggett Cem, and Harris Cem, suggests a long-established rural population. Significant institutional footprints are found at the US Experimental Dairy Farm and the Old Marshall Academy, while the Marshall Co Recreation Center and Golf Course provides a look at mid-century civic development. To the south, the terrain becomes more complex near Wilson Hill and various hollows, including McDaniel Hollow, where the Lewisburg Reservoir managed the local water supply.
