1947 Map of Ft Payne

About this map

Fort Payne sits prominently at the base of Big Valley Ridge and Lookout Mountain, where the Southern Railroad runs parallel to Big Wills Creek. This 1946 field examination captures the city as a thriving valley hub, punctuated by industrial and natural landmarks like the Airfield and Manitou Cave. The surrounding landscape is defined by its ridge-and-valley topography, with the plateau of Lookout Mountain hosting De Soto State Park and rural communities such as Pumpkin Center and Adamsburg. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including Fisher Sch, Log Cabin Chapel, and numerous family-named burial grounds like Hammack Cem and Scott Cem. The map illustrates a developed transport corridor through Wills Valley, contrasted with the winding path of the Little River along the county boundary.
