1915 Map of Gantts Quarry

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Industrial stone extraction and river transport define this 1915 landscape, where the Gantts Quarry operations and the Eureka Quarry sit amidst the ridges of the Talladega and Coosa county line. The Coosa River serves as a primary western boundary, dotted with transit points like McGowan Ferry and Owens Ferry before modern bridges became commonplace. Three major railroads—the Southern Ry, Central of Georgia, and Louisville and Nashville—intersect near Sylacauga and Gantts Junction, highlighting the era's heavy reliance on rail for moving timber and quarried marble.
