1975 Map of Benton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Alabama River sweeps across the northern boundary of this 1975 orthophotoquad, defining a landscape of deep alluvial bends and dense river-bottom timber. This specialized aerial imagery provides a direct look at the mid-1970s agricultural patterns in Dallas County, where large cultivated fields are carved out of the forested terrain. The small community of Sardis is situated in the western portion of the map, while Tyler anchors the eastern side. The imagery reveals the stark layout of a significant airfield and its associated infrastructure, showing the intersection of rural southern life with mid-century transportation and aviation developments. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial perspective captures the exact footprint of farmsteads and the fine-grained texture of the Alabama riverfront as it appeared in the mid-1970s.
