1951 Map of Arkadelphia

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Arkadelphia Mountain and Prospect Mountain dominate this landscape in southern Cullman Co, where the Mulberry Fork carves a deep winding path through the plateau. At the midpoint of the century, the settlement of Arkadelphia serves as a local hub near the Landing Strip, while The Colony and Bremen anchor the surrounding rural community. The area is dense with local landmarks of genealogical interest, including the McDonald Cem and a high concentration of country houses of worship like Shelton Grove Ch and Dorsey Creek Ch. This survey, based on 1947 aerial photography and field-checked in 1951, reflects the post-war rural infrastructure of Alabama before major modernization changed the local character. Educational and social centers like New Prospect Sch and Colony Sch are clearly marked alongside the rugged drainages of Dorsey Creek and Rice Creek.
