1916 Map of Rogersville

About this map

The Tennessee River corridor in Northwest Alabama serves as the centerpiece of this 1916 survey, just before the major hydroelectric developments changed the river's profile forever. The landscape is defined by the complex Muscle Shoals Canal system and a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, including many family-named landmarks like Mitchells Mill and Ingram Mill. This era shows the region still heavily reliant on water-driven industry and river crossings like Lambs Ferry at the mouth of the Elk River.
