1959 Map of Howelton

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Sand Mountain and Straight Mountain define the topography of this Etowah County landscape, creating the distinct lowland of Bristow Cove and Greasy Cove. In the late 1950s, the rural community of Howelton served as a central point for the surrounding farmsteads and family-named cemeteries, including Howelton Cem and Dillard Cem. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through the southern terrain, passing near Ivalee and the Ivalee School, while an Old Line of the same railroad is visible further north. The map documents numerous rural congregations like Morton Chapel and New Welcome Church, alongside natural features like Brasher Spring and the winding course of Bristow Creek. This survey provides a look at the settlement patterns of the Alabama ridge-and-valley country before significant modernization changed these historic mountain corridors.
