1947 Map of Hollywood

About this map

The Tennessee River dominates this mid-century landscape as it flows through the Guntersville Lake reservoir, creating a complex geography of inlets and islands. Along the western banks, the town of Hollywood sits at the foot of Backbone Ridge, serves as a key point on the Southern railroad line and the Lee Highway. Further south, the growing city of Scottsboro reaches its municipal boundary toward the water, where industrial infrastructure like a Pumping Station and Filtration Plant supports the local population.
