1970 Map of Aliceville North

About this map

Aliceville sits at the southern edge of this West Alabama landscape, where the St Louis-San Francisco railroad cuts through the terrain near the Armory and local Hospital. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Big Creek, Blubber Creek, and Beaver Creek, which influenced the placement of numerous rural congregations and burial grounds. Small settlements and named communities such as Sapps, Beaver Town, and Garden are scattered across the quadrangle, connected by winding country roads that link local landmarks like Kirksey High Sch. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by the high density of named cemeteries including Franconia Cem, Pilgrim Rest Cem, and Fleming Cem. The presence of a Claypit and several Gravel Pits suggests the localized extraction industries that operated alongside the region's agricultural base during the mid-20th century.
