1950 Map of Cairo

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Tennessee River and Elk River dominate this portion of northern Alabama, where the creation of the Wheeler Reservoir fundamentally altered the riverine landscape. Rising waters gathered around prominent limestone features such as Buzzard Roost Bluff and Ivy Bluff, creating a complex shoreline that replaced older riverbanks. The map documents a rural transition as the region adjusted to the reservoir, with recreation areas like the Stewart Ferry Cabin Site Area appearing alongside long-established farming communities.
