About this map

The Chickasaw Boundary cuts diagonally through the southern landscape of this 1936 survey, a tangible reminder of historic land cessions that defined Madison County. The area is characterized by small rural settlements and an extensive network of country institutions, notably Oakwood Junior College and numerous local schools like Monrovia Sch and Capshaw Sch. Topographical landmarks such as Capshaw Mtn, Burwell Mtn, and King Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Beaverdam Creek and Indian Creek. Infrastructure is marked by the Alabama Power Company Transmission Line and a system of industrial flumes near Monrovia. This survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority, captures the transition of northern Alabama as public works and electrification began reshaping the traditional agricultural communities of Jeff, Harvest, and Carter Store.
