1975 Map of Mount Meigs NE

About this map

Agricultural fields and dense woodlands define the landscape of eastern Montgomery County in the mid-1970s. This orthophotophototype map provides a direct visual record of land use patterns along the winding Tallapoosa River corridor, where the small community of Ware sits north of the river's many oxbow bends and sandbars. The imagery captures a specific moment in Alabama's rural development, revealing the scale of clearing for timber and farming as it stood on December 2, 1975. Unlike traditional topographic maps with contour lines and symbols, this aerial perspective allows researchers to see the literal footprint of farmsteads and the dense texture of the riverine environment as it actually appeared.
