1972 Map of Excel
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The town of Excel serves as a central hub in this early 1970s landscape, positioned just south of the Monroeville Corporate Boundary. The map illustrates a period of local expansion and institutional development, evidenced by the presence of Monroe County Airport, the Monroe Co Hospital, and educational landmarks like the Monroeville Academy and Patrick Henry State Jr College. This era shows a transition in transportation, where the St Louis - San Francisco and Louisville and Nashville railroads intersect the region's movement alongside an Old Railroad Grade. Rural life remains anchored by community landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch, Woodlawn Ch, and the settlement at Mexia Crossing. Numerous Gravel Pit and Sandpit operations scattered across the terrain point to the extractive industries supporting local road and infrastructure growth during this time.
