1961 Map of Stanford

About this map

The town of Stanford serves as the hub of this 1960s topographic study, situated at the intersection of early pioneer routes and mid-century infrastructure. The historic Wilderness Road and Wilderness Road Lane trace through the landscape, paralleled by the Louisville and Nashville railroad which connects the main settlement to Rowland. To the north, the winding course of the Dix River and Hanging Fork define the topography, while numerous family and community landmarks like the McCormack Ch, Hubble Sch, and Buffalo Spring Cem reflect the deep-rooted local history of Lincoln County.
