About this map

The winding Red River and its tributary Sulphur Fork carve a deep, serpentine path through the landscape of Montgomery and Robertson counties. In the late 1950s, this area remained primarily rural, defined by a network of local schools and churches that served scattered farming communities. Significant landmarks such as Corinth Ch, Mt Nebo Ch, and St Matthews Ch are found north of the river, while Little Hope Ch and Nevel Chapel anchor the southern reaches near the settlement of Sango.

Transport is dominated by the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, which passes through Hampton Station in the northwest. The terrain is marked by notable geological and cultural features, from the depths of Durham Cave to the quiet grounds of Rest Haven Memorial Gardens. Local history is preserved in the placement of small schools like Rossview Sch and Pisgah Sch, illustrating the mid-century educational landscape of Middle Tennessee.
