About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this 1936 survey, which documents the rural landscape of Northeast Alabama during the mid-Depression years. The terrain is defined by the Divide separating the Tennessee River Basin from the Little River Basin, creating a complex network of ridges and hollows. Small agricultural settlements like Rodentown, Aroney, and the curiously named Pulltight anchor a community reliant on high-altitude farming. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, identifying numerous family-centric landmarks such as Thrasher Cem, Hibbs Cem, and the McPherson Sch.
