1952 Map of Blackburn

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Little Cypress Creek and its many branches, including Middle Cypress Creek and Posey Branch, dominate this Lauderdale County landscape. The 1952 survey, updated in the early 1970s, details a rural Alabama community defined by its watercourses and a network of named hollows like Savannah Hollow and Gooch Hollow. Settlement is concentrated at local hubs such as Zip City and Jacksonburg, while the Louisville and Nashville Railroad cuts through the eastern terrain, serving locations like Big Cut Station. Industrial and agricultural history is visible through features such as Sharps Mill and a local racetrack. Family and community roots are well-documented across numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Stoney Point Church, Bethel Berry Cem, and Richardson Cem, providing a clear view of the area's social geography during the mid-20th century.
