2014 Map of Leighton

About this map

Muscle Shoals and the surrounding agricultural uplands are depicted in detail as they appeared in 2014, showing the transition from industrial transport hubs to rural family homesteads. The terrain is marked by the prominent LaGrange Mtn and Kent Mtn, where the historic LaGrange College was established. Numerous family burial sites, such as Leigh Cem, Adams Cem, and Aycock Cem, are scattered across the landscape, providing essential data for genealogical research. The northern portion of the map is dominated by infrastructure including the Northwest Alabama Regional Airport and the rail-oriented Emco-Listerhill Junction. Natural features like Gnat Pond and the marshy Abernathy Bottom define the drainage patterns of the region, while small settlements like Leighton and Spring Valley serve as local centers for the surrounding farmsteads and hollows.
