1975 Map of Mount Meigs SW

About this map

Agricultural fields and expanding residential pockets define this 1975 aerial view of the Alabama countryside east of Montgomery. The landscape is dominated by a transition from large-scale cultivation and timber tracts to the modern transport infrastructure of the mid-1970s. The most prominent corridor is the route of Interstate 85, which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary artery for the region's suburban development. Below the interstate, the texture of the land reveals a complex pattern of woodlots, farm ponds, and winding local roads that hint at the area's rural roots before the intensification of highway-driven growth. This orthophotograph provides a precise visual record of land use and property boundaries during a period of significant change for the Montgomery area.
