1967 Map of Little River

About this map

Little River Canyon dominates this 1967 survey, carving a deep gorge through the plateau of Northeast Alabama. The map documents a landscape defined by sharp vertical relief, from the heights of Shinbone Ridge and Saltcellar Ridge down to the shores of Weiss Reservoir. Local life in this era is centered around crossroads and rural churches, including Dog Town, Sigsbee, and Congo. Educational and religious landmarks like Ruhama Jr High Sch, Walkers Chapel, and Mt Moriah Ch provide specific points of interest for those researching local family roots. Further south, the map details the terrain around Daniels Gap and the waters of Wolf Creek and Spring Creek, while the Canyon Park Landing Strip reflects the mid-century development of the De Soto State Park area for regional visitors.
