1978 Map of Albany

About this map

The town of Albany serves as the focal point of this Clinton County survey, situated amidst the complex terrain of Pickens Ridge and Huddleston Mountain. The landscape is defined by the encroaching waters of Dale Hollow Lake and Wolf River Lake along the southern border, where Wisdom Dock and Wolf River Dock provide access to the transformed river valleys. Evidence of the local extraction economy is scattered across the uplands, noted by numerous Oil Wells and established Oil and Gas Fields near Tuggle Creek. Small rural communities and family landmarks are densely packed into the hollows and along the ridges, including Palestine Ch and the settlement of Shipley. Further south, the map documents the proximity to the Tennessee border near Huntersville, capturing the transition from agricultural uplands to the engineered waterways of the Cumberland basin.
