1960 Map of Gadsden
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Tennessee River corridor defines this northern Alabama landscape, shaped by the massive impoundments of Pickwick Lake, Wilson Lake, Wheeler Lake, and Guntersville Lake. At the center of this 1960 edition is the growing industrial and scientific hub of Huntsville, where the presence of the Redstone Arsenal reflects the region's mid-century expansion. To the west, the quad-cities of Florence, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and Muscle Shoals sit near the critical Shoals reach, while the south is dominated by the dense canopy of the William B Bankhead National Forest.
