1936 Map of Delmar

About this map

Haleyville serves as the focal point for this 1936 survey, which highlights the town's grid and development within the Black Warrior National Forest. Compiled by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Geological Survey from aerial photographs, this map documents the critical watershed divide between the Tennessee Basin and neighboring drainages. The infrastructure of the mid-1930s is clearly delineated, from the State Highway No 5 corridor to the industrial presence of the Ala Pwr Co Trans Line. Local history is captured in rural details such as Prospect Ch, a nearby Cem, and the winding course of Quarter Creek. The Divide itself is a prominent landscape feature, influencing both the natural flow of the terrain and the human movement through this part of Winston County during the New Deal era.
