1958 Map of Montgomery South

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Maxwell Air Force Base and its adjacent Maxwell Storage Annex dominate the northwestern landscape of this Alabama capital city, marking the area's mid-century military importance. The urban grid of Montgomery is exceptionally dense with educational and social institutions, ranging from Alabama State College and Huntingdon College to specialized sites like the Masonic Home and the St Jude Institution. Transportation networks such as the Western Railway of Alabama and Louisville and Nashville Railroad define the industrial corridors, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the swampy bottomlands of Catoma Creek. These low-lying areas, punctuated by Whites Slough and Baldwin Slough, reveal a distinct contrast between the organized city blocks and the meandering natural drainage patterns that limited early suburban expansion to the south.
