1954 Map of Sparta

About this map

Sparta serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks cross the meandering Calfkiller River. The map illustrates a developed local core featuring a courthouse, multiple schools such as West Sch and East Sch, and industrial elements like the City Water Plant and a nearby Substation. To the north, the small settlement of Findlay is marked by the Radio Tower (WSMT) and a Drive-in Theater, reflecting post-war cultural growth.
