About this map

Courtland Air Base dominates the southwestern quadrant of this mid-century survey, its expansive airfield layout and auxiliary facilities like the Firing range and Substation showing the military footprint on the Lawrence County landscape. Just to the northeast, the town of Courtland serves as a local hub where the Southern railway and Joe Wheeler Highway converge. The northern reaches are defined by the wide expanse of the Wheeler Reservoir on the Tennessee River, where the flooding of the basin transformed former bottomlands into inlets at Spring Creek and Big Nance Creek.
