1971 Map of Goodsprings

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mulberry Fork carves a deep, winding path through the coal-bearing hills of Walker County, defining the landscape before it broadens into Bankhead Lake. This 1970s record illustrates an industrial landscape dominated by extraction and energy production, with numerous strip mines scarring the ridges and a massive powerplant situated at Gorgas. The river's serpentine course is punctuated by distinctive landforms like Copeland Bend, Tuggle Bend, and Shepherd Bend, while a network of conveyors and pipelines services the local energy infrastructure. Small mining and utility communities are scattered across the terrain, from the residential clusters at Goodsprings and Aldridge to the rural crossroads of Pumpkin Center. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by landmarks such as Martin High Sch and several country churches, including Oak Grove Ch and Deason Hill Ch, providing essential points of reference for local family history.
