About this map

Redstone Arsenal and the Huntsville Arsenal dominate the western landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the rapid military industrialization of Northern Alabama. The Tennessee River Wheeler Reservoir carves through the center of the sheet, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway crosses the water near Hobbs Island. This infrastructure meets a deeply rooted rural geography defined by family-named landmarks and upland coves.
