1974 Map of Courtland
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Courtland and its surrounding agricultural landscape are documented in this mid-1970s revision, which highlights the intersection of historic river crossings and modern infrastructure. The Tennessee River and Wheeler Lake dominate the northern boundary, where legacy river features like Egypt Ford and Brickhouse Ford contrast with the large industrial footprint of a water filtration plant and purification ponds. South of the main town, the vast Courtland Air Base (abandoned) remains a prominent landmark, its runways still visible decades after its military utility peaked. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and church burial grounds such as the Andrew Garth Memorial Cem, Sherrod Cem, and Byrd Cem. Settlement patterns like Sherrod Quarters and the residential expansion of Terry Heights illustrate the evolving social geography of Lawrence County.
