1957 Map of Troy

About this map

Troy and Biscoe serve as central hubs in this mid-century portrait of Montgomery County, where the industrial presence of the Norfolk Southern railroad connects timber and textile communities. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River and Rocky River, which carved through a region once dotted with small-scale extraction and institutional footprints. To the north, the Black Ankle Mine and the State Prison Camp 804 indicate the diverse use of the land beyond traditional farming.
