About this map

Springville serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along the Southern railroad line where the valley floor meets the base of Blount Mountain. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Walker Ridge and Jones Mountain, which frame the agricultural and residential development concentrated near Big Canoe Creek. In the northwest, the Birmingham Reservoir and Inland Lake highlight the mid-century infrastructure managing the region's water resources.

Local history is preserved through a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Red Hill Ch, Banks Chapel, and the Hooper Cem. The map also captures remnants of local industry with Strip Mines located near the eastern ridge. Revisions compiled in 1975, such as the Trailer Park near the town center, illustrate the evolving settlement patterns in the decades following the original 1958 survey.
