1966 Map of Bowdon West

About this map

The Alabama-Georgia state line bisects this landscape, separating Carroll County from Cleburne County during a period of mid-century rural development. Small agricultural communities and crossroad settlements like Ranburne and Kansas are connected by a network of winding roads, while Bowdon serves as a primary hub for the region with its centralized Hospital and Radio Towers. The area is characterized by numerous small-town institutions, particularly country churches such as Indian Creek Church and Corinth Church, alongside landmarks like Hudson School. Drainage patterns are defined by the Little Tallapoosa River and its various tributaries including Indian Creek and Lost Creek. A notable feature is the 1976 and 1980 photogrammetric revisions shown in purple, which highlight changes in woodland cover and infrastructure during the late 1970s.
