1975 Map of Gantts Quarry NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Coosa River dominates this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, winding through the western portion of the terrain as it feeds into the expansive waters of Lay Lake. The imagery, captured in 1975, provides a literal overhead perspective of the rural landscape near the settlement of Wilsonville. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophotograph reveals the actual density of forest cover and the precise patterns of agricultural clearing across the Alabama countryside. The sharp contrast between the dark, wooded ridges and the pale, open fields illustrates the land-use patterns of the era, while the intricate shoreline of the lake highlights the impact of the river's impoundment on the local geography. This visual record is particularly valuable for documenting property boundaries and environmental features as they existed before further modern development.
