About this map

The Tennessee River serves as the southern anchor for this late 19th-century survey, where river traffic and early rail lines shaped the development of North Alabama. At this time, Huntsville was already established as a regional hub, linked to Athens and western points by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. The map captures the social and industrial infrastructure of the era, from the health-resort era of the Monte Sano Hotel atop Monte Sano to the vital water-powered industry at Thompsons Mill and Keys Mill.
