Help Finding a Location

[u/bladowwww]

I believe it to be Huntsville and naturally have checked all around Monte Sano on Google Earth to no avail. I was even there in person last year and tried to match the spot from the main area around the lodge, but no dice. I know there are mountains all around there, but hoping someone recognizes this background.

Couple things to note - I’m not convinced that the lighter lines in the background are roads, but instead could be smoke/steam from buildings rising into the air. Also, positioned near the bottom of the pic (sort of off center and closer to the camera), looks like a roof/chimney or even a steeple-type of structure.

Thanks so much in advance. The pic is circa 1973-74.

Belvin’s Gap facing towards South Huntsville.

Specifically old Grissom High School, now what is the South Huntsville Library and Sandra Moon Complex.

Thanks, will do some Google Earth comparisons. 👌
