USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Tennessee River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor of this mid-century survey, dividing the cities of Florence and Sheffield. The landscape is dominated by the massive Wilson Dam, which impounds the waters of Wilson Lake and powers the expansive US Nitrate Plant No 2. This era shows the Shoals region in a period of significant post-war infrastructure, where the Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville Railroad networks converge near the river's edge.
