1980 Map of Centreville East

About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the northwestern corner of this territory, where the landscape transitions from the established streets of Centreville into the dense woodlands of the Talladega National Forest. The map documents a community defined by its local landmarks and transportation corridors, including the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line that cuts southeast through Vick and across Sandy Creek. In the upland areas, family history and local heritage are preserved at the Crockett McKinney Cem and the Cahaba Academy, while natural features like Blue Hole and Lightseys Pond suggest the traditional water-oriented recreation of the region.
