1969 Map of Arley

About this map

The town of Arley and the surrounding woodlands of the William B Bankhead National Forest define this landscape, heavily shaped by the intricate shoreline of Lewis Smith Lake. Mapping from 1969, with subsequent revisions in the early 1980s, reveals a community anchored by local institutions like Meek High Sch and Meek Ch. The geography is dominated by the many branches of the lake, including the Sipsey Fork and Dismal Creek, which create deep inlets and isolated peninsulas throughout the quadrangle.
