1975 Map of Blocton NE

About this map

Green Pond serves as the primary landmark on this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to capture the intricate texture of the Alabama landscape. Produced by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, this imagery emphasizes the region's topography through sharp tonal shifts. The surface is defined by a dense network of ridges and drainage patterns, illustrating how timber management and land use shaped the terrain in the years following World War II. Unlike a traditional line-drawn map, this aerial perspective provides a literal view of the clearings and forest cover surrounding the settlement, offering a unique resource for those studying the physical history of this part of Bibb County.
