1970 Map of Cunningham

About this map

The Alabama and Northern railroad corridor defines the western edge of this Pickens County landscape, linking rural stops like Cunningham and Beasley through a terrain of winding creek bottoms. The geography is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of Lubbub Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Lubbub Creek and Seneca Creek. This 1970s record shows a rural community anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Calvary Ch, Mt Sinai Ch, and Good Hope Ch. Cultural features of the era appear alongside the natural hydrology, including a Drive-in Theater near Stevens Spur and the Radio Tower (WRAG) near Dillburg. This survey provides a clear view of the water-rich topography before modern developments, documenting named features like Windles Lake and the Flowing Well that served the area's agricultural and social life.
