1975 Map of Carlowville NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Alabama River anchors this orthophotoquad, winding in a massive, serpentine oxbow across the western landscape. Unlike a traditional topographic map, this 1970s imagery provides a direct photographic record of the land surface, revealing the complex patterns of alluvial deposits and vegetation within the river's active floodplain. The contrast between the dark, timbered river bottoms and the geometric clearings for agriculture on the higher bluffs illustrates the deep-seated relationship between the river's hydrology and local land use. While the map is sparse on human-made labels, the raw photographic detail allows for a precise study of timber stands and field boundaries as they existed in the mid-1970s, making it a valuable tool for researchers tracking environmental change or historical property lines along this major southern waterway.
