About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this 1949 topographic study, where the plateau landscape meets the fingers of the newly formed Guntersville Reservoir. The map illustrates a rural Alabama community defined by its proximity to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s hydrological changes, with the Guntersville Reservation Boundary winding along the rugged slopes of South Sauty Creek and Morgan Cove. The upland terrain is dotted with small agricultural settlements and a high density of country churches, including Piney Grove Ch, Prospect Ch, and Mt Nebo Ch, reflecting the social centerpieces of the era.
