1940 Map of Mt Hope

About this map

Moulton serves as a primary hub in the north of this 1930s-era landscape, where the transition from agricultural valley to the dense woodlands of the Black Warrior National Forest is clearly defined. The terrain rises significantly south of Town Creek, moving into the high ridges of Sand Mountain and the complex topography of Buzzard Roost Mtn and Penitentiary Mtn. This area is marked by a dense network of country schools like Jamison Sch and Delashaw Sch, alongside numerous community landmarks such as Owens Chapel and Elam Ch. Deep in the southern forest, the presence of a CCC Camp near Mt Olive Ch reflects the era's conservation efforts and infrastructure development, while the Central Firetower stands as a sentinel over the watersheds of Brushy Creek and Hurricane Creek.
