1924 Map of Tuscumbia

About this map

The industrial and agricultural corridor of the Tennessee River valley defines this mid-1920s survey, showing the established urban grids of Tuscumbia and Sheffield before the expansion of mid-century hydroelectric projects. This era was marked by the heavy presence of the Southern railroad and the Alabama Northern, which facilitated transport between the river and the inland iron and agricultural fields. Beyond the riverfront, the map details a landscape of rural education and faith, dotted with numerous local institutions like Morning Star School and Galilee Church.
