1971 Map of Carrville

About this map

Carrville and Tallassee anchor the southwestern corner of this survey, which captures a landscape of small agricultural communities and rural schoolhouses across Tallapoosa and Macon counties in the early 1970s. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Sougahatchee Creek and Stone Creek, where numerous gravel pits indicate local extractive industry. Small centers like Reeltown, with its Reeltown High Sch, and Liberty City are connected by a web of light-duty roads, while the presence of The Barroom and Golddust marks distinct local named places in the hills. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of Sharon Ch, Sharon Cem, and Elam Ch. Significant landmarks like the Broach Mill on Bulger Creek and the Drive-in Theater near the western boundary reflect the era's social and economic infrastructure just as modernization began to alter the older rural patterns.
