1975 Map of Talladega SW

About this map

Winterboro and its surrounding agricultural landscape are captured in high-resolution detail through this 1975 aerial orthophotograph. The settlement patterns of central Talladega County are clearly visible, illustrating how local roads and farmsteads branched out from core communities like Sycamore in the south and Alpine along the western edge. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery reveals the exact density of forests and the precise boundaries of cleared fields during the mid-1970s. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, documents the land use and rural infrastructure of the era, providing a raw visual record of the region’s topography and settlement footprint.
