[edit] History between Abingdon and Independence

A 1939 topo map shows US 58 using Loves Mill Road (762), Riverside Road (660), Red Stone Road (650) [it used Red Stone Road because it passed through Holston Mill], and South Fork Road (650) from 91 at Lodi east. Given 8 miles to Troutdale from the edge of the map, it used Comers Creek Road (650) and 16. This is shown as the Jeb Stuart Highway on a 1940 topo map. This auto trail then went south on 16 to rejoin US 58 at Volney. --NE2 02:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wilderness Road

Doesn't US 58 generally follow the old Wilderness Road route to the Cumberland Gap? Is this part of the road's history? Pfly 22:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
