1956 Map of Glencoe

About this map

The industrial and military activity of the mid-century Etowah County landscape is anchored by the Gadsden Air Force Depot, a significant installation situated between East Gadsden and Glencoe. This area is defined by the winding course of the Coosa River, now part of the H Neely Henry Lake, which creates distinct geographic features like Whorton Bend and Tidmore Bend. The transport infrastructure is dominated by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which cuts northwest through the terrain to support the region's growing logistics and manufacturing sectors.
