1966 Map of Fruithurst
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Southern railroad corridor anchors this pocket of eastern Alabama, connecting the hilltop town of Fruithurst with Muscadine near the state line. Originally mapped in the 1960s with updates through 1980, the sheet reveals a landscape defined by small rural communities and numerous country congregations. The winding course of the Tallapoosa River cuts through the eastern half of the map, fed by smaller tributaries like Cane Creek and Muscadine Creek. This area preserves a high density of sites for local history and genealogy, ranging from the Oak Grove Lookout Tower to a series of community centers such as Plainview, Lebanon, and Abernathy. The presence of many family-oriented landmarks, including Harmony Grove Ch, New Hope Ch, and Mount Olive Cem, reflects the established social geography of Cleburne County during this era.
