1969 Map of Addison

About this map

The town of Addison serves as a central hub in this northern Alabama landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 278 and the surrounding woodlands of the William B Bankhead National Forest. This survey, updated in the early 1980s, highlights the deep indentations of Lewis Smith Lake as it reaches into the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map is particularly rich in genealogical landmarks, recording numerous rural congregations and resting places such as Old Houston Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Liberty Ch. Small communities like Inmanfield, New Georgia, and Helicon are connected by a network of creeks and branches, including Brushy Creek and Rock Creek. The winding course of the water has carved distinctive features such as Horseshoe Bend, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and established rural settlements.
