1975 Map of Elmore NE

About this map

Jordan Lake dominates the southwestern portion of this 1975 orthophotoquad, showing the intricate shoreline and surrounding timberland of northern Elmore County during the mid-1970s. This aerial perspective, captured before significant modern development, reveals the agricultural and residential patterns of rural Alabama crossroads. The small community of Holtville sits near the southern bank of the reservoir, while the crossroads of Titus and Buyck serve as the primary landmarks in the more wooded northern and eastern reaches. By utilizing photographic imagery rather than traditional line-drawing, the survey provides a precise view of field boundaries, forest cover, and local infrastructure, which is particularly valuable for researchers tracing the evolution of family lands and rural road networks.
