1958 Map of Montgomery South

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Montgomery expands southward in the late 1950s, revealing a landscape where dense urban institutional growth meets the winding bottomlands of Catoma Creek. The sheet is notable for its concentration of educational and religious landmarks, including Alabama State College, Huntingdon College, and the sprawling St Jude Institution. To the northwest, the Maxwell Air Force Base Military Reservation dominates the bend of the river, while the city's infrastructure is marked by the presence of St Margaret Hospital and multiple radio towers like Tower (WCOV-TV). Moving away from the city center, the terrain transitions into the agricultural and marshy reaches of Baldwin Slough and Whites Slough, where smaller settlements like Hope Hull and McGehees sit along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
