1893 Map of Fort Payne
USGS Topo · Published 1893About this map
Fort Payne and the Wills Valley corridor are dominated by the Great Southern Railroad, which follows the narrow lowland between the massive Lookout Mountain and the western plateaus. This 1880s survey illustrates a region defined by its rugged topography, where gaps like Winston Gap and Nicholson Gap provided essential passage for early roads. Local commerce and industry are evident in the numerous river crossings such as Coker Ferry and Bradford Ferry, and the presence of Sauty Mill in the north.
