1953 Map of Barton

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Barton sits along the Southern railroad line and Lee Highway at the northern edge of this Colbert County survey. The landscape transitions sharply from the transport corridor into the dense drainages of Sand Mountain Ridge and Wildcat Mountain. Central to the map is the Mountain Mills Lookout Tower, standing watch over a network of hollows such as Bugg Mill Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow. These valleys hide numerous family and community landmarks, including the McCais Cem and McLemore Cem, reflecting the area's ancestral settlement patterns before large-scale conservation efforts.
