1952 Map of Lexington

About this map

The agricultural landscape of northern Alabama is captured here by the Tennessee Valley Authority, centering on the small hubs of Lexington and Anderson. This period is defined by a dense network of country roads connecting dispersed family farms and community centers like Whitehead. The map reveals a high concentration of small rural congregations and burying grounds, including Nebo Ch, Corum Chapel, and the Portertown Cem.
