1967 Map of Elrod

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Sipsey River and its complex network of oxbows and sloughs, including Oak Log Slough and Springer Slough, dominate the eastern landscape of this West Alabama quadrangle. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the southern settlements of Elrod and Buhl, providing a vital transportation artery through the lowlands. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society structured around local gathering places, with several family and community landmarks such as Freeman Cem, Wilburn Cem, and the Bethlehem Ch appearing across the terrain. Further north, the upland ridges are defined by watercourses like Eightmile Branch and the small community of Echola. The map preserves the exact alignment of rural roads and the location of isolated churches like Corinth Ch and Mt Nebo Ch before later development altered the rural character of the Pickens and Tuscaloosa County border.
