1969 Map of Addison

About this map

Lewis Smith Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Winston County region, its winding fingers reaching deep into the forested hills. The town of Addison sits as a central hub, surrounded by a network of smaller communities like Inmanfield, New Georgia, and Helicon to the southeast. Much of the northern terrain is protected within the William B Bankhead National Forest and the Black Warrior Wildlife Management Area, characterized by dramatic topographical features like Eagle Rock and the sharp turn of Horseshoe Bend. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Old Houston Cem, Friendship Ch, and Liberty Ch. The map captures the interface between the sprawling reservoir and the established agricultural and timber lands of north-central Alabama, showing the road network before significant modern expansion.
