1947 Map of Colvin Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Colvin Mountain and Dry Creek Mountain dominate the topography of this Northeast Alabama corridor, creating a series of enclosed valleys where rural life centered around local churches and schools in the late 1940s. The settlement of Hokes Bluff sits at the northwestern edge, while the crossing at Colvin Gap provides a vital link through the ridges. The map reveals a landscape defined by small-scale farming and spiritual life, evidenced by a dense network of country churches including Youngs Chapel, New Liberty Ch, and Pattersons Chapel.
