1978 Map of Grove Hill

About this map

The town of Grove Hill serves as the central hub of this Clarke County landscape, showing the community as it transitioned through the mid-1970s into the 1980s. A dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Magnolia Cemetery and Mathews Cemetery, highlights the area's deep genealogical roots. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Tattilaba Creek and Rabbit Creek, while the local economy is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and the proximity of the Municipal Airport. Landmarks such as the Grove Hill Lookout Tower and the Drive-in Theater provide a look at the mid-century infrastructure and social spaces of the era. The presence of rural congregations like Union Church and Tompkins Church illustrates the dispersed settlement pattern typical of the Alabama coastal plain during this period of development.
