1936 Map of Landersville

About this map

Moulton Valley defines the northern half of this 1936 survey, where the settlement of Landersville sits along State Highway No 24. The landscape is dotted with a high density of rural institutions, including Frog Pond Sch, Jamison Sch, and Town Creek Ch, reflecting a well-established agrarian community before modern consolidation. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Sand Mountain, where the National Forest Boundary marks the edge of the Black Warrior National Forest. The Tennessee Divide cuts through this southern upland, separating the Town Creek drainage from the headwaters of Maddox Creek. This transition from the open valley floor to the wooded ridges of Stinson Gap and McClung Gap illustrates the sharp geographic divide between the cultivated lowlands and the protected timberlands of the plateau.
