1957 Map of Colvin Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Colvin Mountain dominates this topographic survey, stretching across the boundary between Etowah and Calhoun counties. The mid-century landscape is defined by its small-scale social centers, with numerous rural congregations like Ford Valley Ch, New Liberty Ch, and Webster Chapel serving the surrounding farmland. In the northwest, Hokes Bluff sits near the headwaters of Dry Creek, while the southern reaches are marked by the presence of Williams Sch and several family-named burial sites including Landers Cem. The geography transitions from the higher elevations of Wilson Mtn and Round Mountain to the creek valleys where Thompson Lake and Bennetts Lake provided local water sources. This 1957 field check documents the rural road network, including Route 278 and 74, that connected these dispersed communities before modern infrastructure shifts altered the local footprint.
