1975 Map of Goodwater SE

About this map

Goodwater and its surrounding rural terrain are documented here through the precision of mid-1970s orthophotography. Developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, this imagery captures the landscape on November 17, 1975, revealing the intricate patterns of forest management and agricultural clearings that defined this portion of Coosa County. Unlike a traditional line-drawn map, the photographic detail allows for a direct observation of the road network radiating from the town center and the density of the surrounding timberlands. The clear view of the transportation corridors and individual property footprints offers an invaluable look at the spatial organization of the community during this era of Alabama's rural development.
