1966 Map of Ethelsville

About this map

Ethelsville and the surrounding timberlands of western Alabama are defined by the winding paths of Magby Creek, Kincaide Creek, and Nash Creek during the mid-1960s. This survey records a landscape where rural community life centered on numerous country houses of worship and education, including Liberty High Sch, Hickory Grove Ch, and Providence Ch. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad corridor cuts diagonally through the terrain, serving the small settlements of Delma and McShan, while the northern border reaches into the community of Stafford.
