USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Coosa River winds through this post-war Alabama landscape, carving deep oxbows at Tidmore Bend and Horton Bend. The industrial and institutional character of Gadsden and East Gadsden is evident in the presence of the Gadsden Ordnance Plant, the Specialized Depot 839th AF, and the Alabama School of Trades. These facilities, alongside the Louisville and Nashville railroad, underscore the region's importance as a logistical and manufacturing hub during the mid-20th century.
