1936 Map of Stroups Crossroads

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Morgan County is captured here during the mid-1930s, showing a network of rural communities centered around Stroups Crossroads, Danville, and Neel. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs by the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS, records the impact of the newly created Wheeler Reservoir on the local hydrology, with the rising waters of Flint Creek beginning to shape the northeast corner of the quadrangle. Local social life is mapped through numerous family-named institutions and landmarks, including Johnson Chapel, Liberty Sch, and Windes Sch. The map also traces the boundary of the Black Warrior Natl Forest in the southwest, while physical features like Owen Mtn, Isabel Mtn, and the Big Bottom lowlands reveal the varied terrain before modern development. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of the Herrin Cem and other burial grounds scattered across the townships.
