USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Gadsden Air Force Depot and its associated rail infrastructure define the landscape south of Gadsden in the mid-1950s. The Louisville and Nashville RR cuts a straight path through Glencoe, connecting the industrial fringes of East Gadsden with the rural settlements to the south. The terrain is dramatically marked by the ridge of Colvin Mountain, which creates a natural barrier between Etowah and Calhoun counties, pierced only by local crossings like Walker Gap and Alexander Gap.
