1956 Map of Nankin

About this map

The Withlacoochee River carves a winding path through this corner of the Deep South, marking the boundary between Brooks and Lowndes counties. This mid-century landscape is defined by its rural density, particularly the cluster of community churches that anchored local life, including Elam Ch, Ochlawilla Ch, and Columbia Ch. Near the settlement of Nankin, the terrain is dotted with small water bodies like Fearnside Lake and Montgomery Pond, set against a backdrop of wetlands and low-lying woods.
