1975 Map of Goodwater SW

About this map

Stewartville and the surrounding woodlands of Coosa County are captured here in high-contrast detail through a 1975 aerial orthophotograph. This specialized survey, produced by the Geological Survey and the Soil Conservation Service, uses scanned photoimagery rather than traditional topographic contour lines to document the land. The resulting view emphasizes the dense forest cover and the winding road networks that connect Hollins in the northeast to Hanover in the south. The imagery clearly delineates the cleared patches of agricultural land and timber harvesting sites, revealing the mid-1970s land-use patterns across this rural Alabama landscape. It provides a unique visual record of property boundaries and vegetation density that traditional line maps often omit.
