1986 Map of Montgomery
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
Montgomery sits at the heart of this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a hub where the Alabama River and Tallapoosa River converge. The urban center is defined by major transportation corridors, including Interstate 65 and the Western Railway of Alabama, alongside prominent military installations like Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Air Force Base. Moving west toward Selma, the map transitions into the fertile Black Belt region, characterized by extensive creek networks like Catoma Creek and Pintlala Creek. Small agricultural communities and junctions such as Lowndesboro, Autaugaville, and Hayneville anchor the surrounding counties. This survey illustrates the relationship between the state capital and its rural hinterlands, showing the reach of regional institutions like Auburn Univ (Montgomery) and local landmarks including Dannelly Field and the Oakwood Cemetery.
