1954 Map of Sampson

About this map

Falls Creek Falls State Park dominates the southwest portion of this mid-century landscape, showcasing the dramatic drop of Falls Creek Falls and Cane Creek Falls. The topography is defined by the sharp descent into the Cane Creek gorge, while the upland plateau across the Van Buren and Bledsoe County line is dotted with small rural centers. Settlements like Sampson and Mooneyham are connected by mountain roads passing several local landmarks, including Mt Della Ch, Mt View Ch, and the New Martin Sch.
