1958 Map of Vanleer

About this map

Vanleer and Sylvia anchor this rural Tennessee landscape, which is defined by a dense network of winding hollows and creek branches. The terrain is deeply etched by Yellow Creek and Bartons Creek, where numerous family-named cemeteries such as Nichols Cem, Walker Cem, and Felt Cem suggest a long-established pattern of generational settlement. These small graveyards are tucked into the ridges and valleys, often near historic routes like Maysville Road and Stage Road.
