1957 Map of Adams

About this map

The Red River and its major tributaries, the Elk Fork and Sulphur Fork, dictate the landscape of this Tennessee region. This mid-century topography reveals a rural economy tied to the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which links the settlements of Sadlersville (Sadlers Sta), Adams, and Cedar Hill. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous small community anchors like Bells Ch, Little Star Ch, and Mt Herman Ch, alongside the Jo-Byrns High Sch. A shared boundary between Montgomery Co and Robertson Co runs through the western section, while the river's winding course is monitored by a Gaging Sta and a Radio Tower, reflecting the infrastructure supporting the river valley in the 1950s and 1970s.
