1971 Map of Dadeville

About this map

Dadeville stands as a focal point of development in eastern Alabama, positioned where the Georgia Central railroad cuts through the landscape toward the waters of Martin Lake. The topography is dominated by the intricate, finger-like inlets of the reservoir, which submerged much of the low-lying terrain of the Tallapoosa River valley. Prominent elevations like Smith Mountain, complete with its Lookout Tower, and Youngs Island remain above the 490-foot waterline, creating a complex shoreline that defined the region's mid-century character.
