About this map

Triana and the surrounding river bottomlands are captured in this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the winding Tennessee River-Wheeler Lake. This area reflects the significant influence of federal activity, with the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge and the southern reaches of the Redstone Arsenal occupying vast portions of the terrain. The presence of the Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA) near the Huntsville Spring Branch signals the region's mid-century transition toward the aerospace age.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Mt Pleasant Church, Curries Chapel, and Mt Mariah Ch serve as anchors for the small settlements of Valhermoso Springs and Talucah. Genealogists can trace several burial sites, including the Breeding Cem, Draper Cem, and Grantland Cem. The river's history is recorded through numerous landings such as Sunnyside Landing and Johnson Landing, while the rugged topography of Brindley Mountain rises to the south near Russell Cove.
