1972 Map of Clanton East

About this map

Clanton serves as the focal point of this Chilton County landscape, where the town's expansion meets the rural drainages of Walnut Creek and Cargle Creek. The 1970s era geography is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which dictates the placement of settlements like Falakto, Cooper, and Verbena. A dense network of community landmarks provides significant detail for local historians, including the County High School and Adair School, alongside the County Hospital and Nursing Home. Rural life is anchored by numerous country churches such as Glad Tidings Ch, Sunshine Ch, and Maple Springs Ch. The topography is marked by several Gravel Pits and industrial features like the Filtration Plant and Pumping Stations, reflecting the area's utility and natural resource extraction during this period.
