1975 Map of Carlowville NW

About this map

The Alabama River winds through this 1975 orthophoto quadrangle, defining the agricultural and wooded landscape of Dallas County. This aerial perspective, captured in late November, reveals a patchwork of tilled fields, timber tracks, and riverine bends that characterize the Black Belt region. The small settlement of Pinebelt sits near the river's edge, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural homesteads and farm roads. The high-contrast imagery highlights the distinct geological contours and drainage patterns leading toward the river basin, providing a clear view of land use and property boundaries before more modern development altered the rural layout.
