1975 Map of Autaugaville NE

About this map

The Alabama River winds through the southwestern corner of this orthophotograph, marking a landscape defined by its deep agricultural patterns and dense timberlands in the mid-1970s. The small settlement of Forester sits among a patchwork of cleared fields and forest, illustrating the rural character of Autauga County before further modern development. This unique aerial perspective, captured in December 1975, reveals the exact footprint of land use during this era, showing the distinct boundary between the river's floodplain and the upland farming tracts. Researchers can observe the intricate network of farm roads and drainage patterns that sustained this river-adjacent community.
