1964 Map of Meridianville

About this map

Meridianville and its surrounding agricultural landscape dominate this mid-century survey, which reveals a transition from traditional farming toward the suburban expansion of northern Huntsville. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Beaverdam Creek and the Brier Fork Flint River, with specialized land use evident in the Water cress ponds near the center of the sheet. Notable landmarks of the era include the campus of the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College and the industrial presence of Moores Mill.
