1978 Map of Albany

About this map

Albany serves as the focal point of this Clinton County survey, showing the town's mid-century expansion through the inclusion of the Albany Airport, Clinton County High Sch, and the County Fairgrounds. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated Hogback Ridge and Huddleston Mountain to the deeply carved river valleys of the south. The creation of Dale Hollow Lake and Lake Wolf River dominates the bottom of the sheet, where the Kentucky Tennessee state line crosses the water near Huntersville. Away from the town center, numerous family and community landmarks such as Browns Crossroads, Dicken Chapel, and Memorial Hill Cem provide essential data for genealogists. The presence of active Oil Wells and Gas Fields along Illwill Creek in the northwest corner highlights the importance of mineral extraction to the local economy during this era.
