1964 Map of Triana

About this map

Triana and the expansive waters of Wheeler Lake dominate this mid-century survey along the Tennessee River. The landscape reflects a complex transition between the established military grounds of Redstone Arsenal and the protected marshes of the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. While the north is marked by government infrastructure including a pumping station and several radio towers, the southern reach into Morgan County reveals a rural settlement pattern defined by creek bottoms and family landmarks. Genealogists can find numerous burial sites such as Winton Cem and Breeding Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like Mt Mariah Ch and Curries Chapel. The topography rises sharply from the river flats toward the heights of Brindley Mountain, punctuated by distinctive geological features like The Booger Hole and the Blue Hole.
