1938 Map of Danville

About this map

The Black Warrior National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 1930s survey, a terrain of high ridges and narrow gaps including Washplace Mtn and Millfield Mtn. This upland region, marked by the Basham Fire Tower, transitions northward into a more settled agricultural corridor defined by the drainage of Flint Creek and its many branches. Small communities like Danville, Neel, and Stroups Crossroads serve as hubs for the surrounding farmsteads, many of which are situated near local landmarks like the McDaniel Bridge and Means Bridge. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local detail, from family-named features like Torrence Hill and Isabel Mtn to numerous rural institutions such as Andrews Chapel and Cave Springs Sch. The map preserves the placement of late Depression-era infrastructure, including the remote settlement at Upshaw and the Camp Ground near the Morgan County line.
