1947 Map of Cox Gap

About this map

Ashville anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the ridges and valleys of northeast Alabama create a distinct corridor for early settlement and transport. Surveyed in 1947, the map captures a network of rural congregations that defined community life in the mid-century, including Weeping Mary Ch, Gum Springs Ch, and Poplar Springs Ch. The topography is dominated by parallel ridges including the Canoe Creek Mountains, Hines Mountain, and the Beaver Creek Mountains, which forced travel through narrow passages like Looney Gap and Cox Gap.
