1957 Map of Sango

About this map

The Red River and Sulphur Fork Red River carve a deep, meandering path through the tobacco-growing country of northern Middle Tennessee in the late 1950s. Centered on the border of Montgomery and Robertson counties, this landscape is defined by its small, scattered rural communities and a high density of country churches such as Hollins Chapel, Corinth Ch, and Little Hope Ch. The historic river port at Port Royal sits at the confluence of the two major waterways, representing an older era of river commerce that had largely given way to rail and road by this time.
