1954 Map of Pride

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Colbert Steam Plant stands as a massive industrial presence along the Tennessee River in this mid-1950s survey of the Alabama-Tennessee borderlands. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Southern Railway and the Lee Highway corridor, which parallel the river and connect the settlement of Pride. To the north, Pickwick Lake surrounds prominent landforms like Sevenmile Island and Buck Island, marking the regulated water levels of the era. South of the industrial riverfront, the terrain rises into the densely wooded ridges of Pride Mountain and Wheeler Mountain. This area is dotted with small rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, including Zion Ch, Nazareth Ch, and several family-named cemeteries like Holland Cem and Basden Cem. The map captures a transition between the heavy power generation at the river's edge and the traditional agricultural and timber lands of the interior ridges.
