1964 Map of Farley

About this map

The Tennessee River and Wheeler Lake dominate this landscape south of Huntsville, where the river serves as both a natural barrier and a corridor for industry. The Redstone Arsenal occupies a significant portion of the northwest, its secure boundary pressing against the growing corporate limits of the city. Along the Louisville and Nashville rail line, the settlement of Farley remains a distinct community with its own Farley School and Farley Church, while further south, the Alabama State Dock Terminal and Huntsville Filtration Plant highlight the river's vital role in regional infrastructure.
