1975 Map of Mount Meigs NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The meandering course of the Tallapoosa River dominates this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which captures the rural-urban transition east of Montgomery. While the western edge of the image shows the encroaching development and road networks of the state capital, the remainder of the landscape is defined by the tight oxbows and dense bottomland vegetation of the river valley. The settlement of Madison appears amidst a pattern of large agricultural tracts and woodland, reflecting the area's character before the significant suburban expansion of later decades. This aerial perspective, compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1975 photography, provides a rare visual record of land use and river morphology during a period of steady growth in the Alabama Black Belt.
