1959 Map of Howelton

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Straight Mountain and Blount Mountain dominate this corner of Etowah County, where the Tennessee Valley Authority mapped a landscape defined by parallel ridges and fertile coves. Small farming communities and family settlements are tucked into the valleys, including Howelton, Aurora, and Egypt. Local life in the late 1950s centered around numerous rural congregations such as New Welcome Church, Morton Chapel, and Mt Olive Ch. The southwestern portion of the map is defined by Greasy Cove and Little Cove, while transportation and commerce follow the corridor of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Genealogists can locate several family and community burial grounds, including the Howelton Cem and Armstrong Cem, providing a detailed record of the families who settled these upland valleys before modern development.
