1971 Map of Florence
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Florence and its industrial neighbor Sheffield dominate this river-bound landscape in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a city in transition, where established institutions like Florence State College and the Court House are surrounded by expanding residential districts such as Sherwood Forest and Weeden Heights. The Tennessee River serves as the central artery, controlled by the massive Wilson Dam and feeding into Pickwick Lake. South of the river, the Muscle Shoals Reservation and the National Fertilizer Development Center highlight the area's role as a center for federal utility and research.
