1971 Map of Cusseta

About this map

Cusseta and the surrounding Chambers County hill country are defined by a network of creeks and the historical path of the Western Railway of Alabama. This survey captures the rural character of the region in the early 1970s, where small community hubs like Tuckersburg are centered around local institutions such as Galilee Ch. The landscape is etched with numerous watercourses, including Osanippa Creek, Wildcat Creek, and Boyds Creek, which shaped early land use and settlement patterns long before the development of Chambers County State Lake. Local education and faith are represented by the Cusseta Sch and several country churches like Osanippa Ch and Harrington Heights Ch. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of family burial sites and memorial grounds, including Mt Nebo Cem and Rest Haven Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
