1947 Map of Albertville

About this map

Albertville serves as the primary hub in this Marshall County landscape, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway and the Florida Short Route converge. The topography is defined by the winding course of Short Creek, which feeds into the expansive Guntersville Lake at the northern edge. Significant local heritage is preserved through numerous rural institutions, including Brashier Chapel School and Corbinville Sch, alongside several community landmarks like Rice Mill Bridge and Short Creek Falls. The map captures the area's transition into a recreation destination with the presence of Little Mountain State Park overlooking the lake. Farther south, the infrastructure of the Albertville-Boaz Water Supply and the Radio tower WAVU indicates the post-war modernization of this North Alabama plateau.
