1969 Map of Addison

About this map

Lewis Smith Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Winston County region, where the winding inlets of Brushy Creek and Rock Creek meet the forested shoreline. The town of Addison serves as the central hub, situated just north of the William B Bankhead National Forest boundary. This 1969 field-checked survey illustrates a rural community anchored by longstanding institutions, including the High Sch in town and several outlying country churches such as Friendship Ch and Liberty Ch. Genealogical value is found in several burial sites like Old Houston Cem and Pisgah Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The terrain is defined by dramatic water features, notably the sharp curve of Horseshoe Bend and the convergence of numerous small branches like Chimney Branch and Clifty Creek as they drain toward the reservoir.
