1959 Map of Gadsden West

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Big Wills Creek carves a path through the valley between Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain on this mid-century topographic record of northern Alabama. The map documents the intensive rail network of the era, where the Louisville & Nashville RR, Alabama Great Southern RR, and Seaboard Air Line RR converge near the industrial centers of Alabama City and Attalla. These transport corridors helped define the growth of neighborhoods like Walnut Park and The Highlands, while the Coosa River anchors the southeastern edge of the survey.
