1944 Map of Goodwater
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Talladega Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape, as the Talladega National Forest spans across much of the terrain between Sylacauga and Goodwater. The survey captures a rural Alabama economy reliant on the corridors of the Louisville and Nashville and Central of Georgia railroads. Local life centers on established crossroads and rural landmarks such as Hollins, Stewartville, and Hanover. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of community institutions like Marvin Chapel, Liberty Hill Ch, and the Mt Pleasant Cem. The transition from industrial rail centers to the high ridges of Rocky Mountain and Locust Mtn illustrates the area's physical isolation and the strategic importance of passes like Heards Gap and Bulls Gap for regional travel.
