1971 Map of Tuskegee

About this map

Tuskegee Institute and the adjacent town center serve as the primary focus of this early 1970s survey, documenting a landscape deeply tied to educational and civic development. The campus is shown in high detail alongside institutional landmarks like the Veterans Hospital and Moton Field. Settlement patterns extend north to Chehaw along the Western Railway of Alabama, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the wooded expanse of the Tuskegee National Forest. Numerous neighborhood churches and cemeteries, such as Daniels Chapel, Ashdale Cem, and Greenwood Cem, provide vital landmarks for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Uphapee Creek and Choctahatchee Creek, illustrating the natural drainage system that influenced the positioning of local waterworks and the City Lake reservoir.
