1951 Map of Blount Springs

About this map

Blount Springs and the surrounding river-carved terrain of Cullman and Blount Counties define this 1951 landscape. The Mulberry Fork winds through the northern half of the quadrangle, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks follow the river's path through Bangor before striking south through the Blount Tunnel. This corridor was essential for mid-century transportation, linking rural communities like Spring Yard Hill and Hayden to the broader regional economy.
