1965 Map of Eads

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The rolling hills and creek bottoms of eastern Shelby County appear here during a period of transition, where suburban expansion near Lakeland meets the older farming communities of Eads and Fisherville. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Cypress Creek and Grays Creek, with the latter winding through Spain Bottom toward the State Fish and Game Refuge. Local heritage is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including Morning Sun Church, Chambers Chapel Cemetery, and the Friendship Temple. Cultural markers like Mt Pisgah High School and the Morris Lookout Tower near Herb Parsons Lake reflect the area's civic development. A legacy of earlier transport is visible in the abandoned rail line that once connected these agrarian settlements, now superseded by the modern infrastructure of Interchange 20.
