1892 Map of Cullman

About this map

Louisville and Nashville Railroad tracks dominate the central corridor of this survey, serving as the industrial backbone for the growing town of Cullman and smaller depots like Falkville and Hanceville. The landscape transitions from the upland heights of Sand Mountain down to the complex drainage systems of the Mulberry Fork of Black Warrior River. Settlers during this era relied on a network of primitive transportation routes, most notably the historic Stout's Road, which navigated the ridges near Phelan's.
