1947 Map of Newsome Sinks

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Newsome Sinks and the surrounding Newsome Ridge dominate this North Alabama landscape, where the borders of Morgan, Marshall, and Madison counties converge. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Benton Round Mountain and Guillon Mtn down to the Merritt Bottom. This 1940s survey reveals a dispersed rural community organized around crossroads like Allens Crossroads and small settlements such as Morgan City and Apple Grove. The Heart of Dixie Highway serves as a primary north-south artery, cutting through the center of the sheet.
