1956 Map of Montgomery

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Alabama River system serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, winding through the heart of the state to connect major hubs like Selma and Montgomery. This era captures the height of Cold War aviation activity in the region, with Maxwell AFB and Gunter AFB flanking the capital, while Craig AFB anchors the area near Selma. The landscape is defined by the transition from the industrial and agricultural river corridors to the protected timberlands of the Talladega National Forest.
