About this map

Haleyville serves as the primary municipal hub in this late-1950s survey of Winston County, positioned near the Tennessee Valley Divide. The landscape is dominated by the expansive William B. Bankhead National Forest, which covers the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Outside the main town, smaller settlements like Needmore and Delmar are connected by a network of rural routes, including the Lower Double Springs Road and the historic Yankee Trace.

Extractive industry and local community life are well-documented through numerous strip mines and gravel pits alongside a high concentration of rural institutions. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Boar Tush Lookout Tower and various country churches and schools, including Macedonia Ch, Friendship Ch, and Deer School. The Southern railroad line parallels the western edge, providing a vital transport corridor through Glen Mary toward the more rugged drainage basins of the Buttahatchee River.
