1975 Map of Dora
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Dora serves as a primary reference point in this mid-1970s orthophoto, showing the tight-knit settlement patterns and transportation corridors of the Alabama coal country. Unlike traditional line maps, this photographic survey provides a direct view of the land use across Walker and Jefferson counties, revealing the physical footprint of Sumiton and West Jefferson. The imagery documents the dense vegetation of the regional terrain interspersed with cleared industrial or agricultural sites and winding river bends. By 1975, the area reflects a landscape defined by significant surface activity and modern road development, offering a distinct record of these communities just before the close of the twentieth century.
