1936 Map of Frankfort

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Chickasaw Boundary cuts across this 1936 survey of the Alabama uplands, marking a historic line of demarcation between Colbert and Franklin counties. The settlement of Frankfort serves as a local hub, surrounded by a landscape defined by small-scale agrarian infrastructure and family-named landmarks. The presence of Hovaters Mill on Jackson Mill Creek indicates the continued importance of local milling sites for the surrounding farmsteads during the mid-1930s. Rural education and faith are central to the map's geography, with several community nodes such as Cedar Creek Sch, Mt Zion Sch, and Shady Grove Ch distributed along the winding creek branches. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small burial grounds, including Burnt Church Cem, Antioch Cem, and Taylor Cem, which anchor family histories to specific ridges and hollows.
