1947 Map of Langston

About this map

Lake Guntersville dominates the landscape following the mid-century impoundment of the Tennessee River, creating a complex shoreline of inlets and points where the Jackson and Marshall county lines meet. The town of Langston sits on elevated ground south of the lake, surrounded by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds including the Langston Cem, Roman Cem, and Nicholson Cem. The rugged geography of Backbone Ridge and Gunters Mountain frames the western waters, while the northern boundary reaches the edge of Scottsboro.
