1936 Map of Langston
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
The Tennessee River valley stands on the cusp of total transformation in this 1936 survey, which illustrates the Proposed Guntersville Reservoir at a projected elevation of 594 feet. The map delineates the future shoreline, showing how the rising waters will soon inundate Larkins Ferry and the Riley Reservation. High ground is dominated by the prominent Backbone Ridge and the broad plateau of Sand Mountain, where the local agricultural landscape remains intact with numerous small family-named landmarks and rural institutions.
