1975 Map of Summerfield SE

About this map

This 1975 orthophotoquad reveals the dense forest and agricultural patchwork of rural Dallas County shortly before its publication in 1977. Prepared from high-altitude aerial photography, the map highlights the winding route of State Route 219 as it cuts through the landscape, serving as a primary corridor for this timber-rich region. The contrast between cleared farmland and heavy wooded tracts illustrates the area's mid-70s land use, where small-scale clearings for homesteads or crops break up the otherwise uniform forest cover. This specific type of survey provides a photographic rather than purely topographic record, capturing the exact state of vegetation and rural development at the time of the December flyover.
