1946 Map of Chavies

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Big Wills Valley and Little Wills Valley slice through the DeKalb County landscape, partitioned by the long ridge of the Divide. This 1946 field examination captures the rural character of the Alabama plateau before modern suburbanization, centered on the intersection of the Tennessee River Road and the early development of Rainsville. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its topography and water access, with established crossings like Suttell Ford and Bohannon Ford serving the community alongside industry landmarks such as Hughes Mill and Killian Mill.
