1958 Map of Vanleer

About this map

Vanleer serves as the central hub of this Dickson County landscape during the late 1950s, anchoring a network of rural roads and ridges. The terrain is defined by a dense system of hollows, including Smith Hollow, Black John Hollow, and Freeman Hollow, which reveal the traditional settlement patterns of Middle Tennessee. Along Sylvia Road and the surrounding hills, a remarkable concentration of family cemeteries like Baggett Cem, Edwards Cem, and Richardson Cem provides a significant record for genealogical research, often situated near crossroads communities like Taylor Crossroads and Sylvia.
