1959 Map of Argo

About this map

Red Mountain dominates the central landscape of this late-fifties survey, where the Jefferson and St. Clair county line cuts through a series of prominent ridges and valleys. The settlement of Argo sits along the Southern Railway, serving as a focal point for local commuters and farmers, while the southern edge shows the growth of Trussville near the Cahaba River. This era is defined by the heavy footprint of industry and recreation side-by-side, with Strip Mines and several Chert Pits peppering the terrain near family landmarks like Vann Valley and Happy Hollow.
