1967 Map of Jacksonville East

About this map

The eastern edges of Jacksonville and the agricultural lands toward White Plains define this mid-1960s survey of Calhoun and Cleburne counties. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of Dugger Mountain and Chimney Mtn, which frame the protected wilderness of the Talladega National Forest. In the valley to the west, the Southern Railway and Seaboard Coast Line intersect near Merrellton, illustrating the importance of rail transport for this region. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural landscape, from small settlements like Rabbittown and Holley Crossroads to gathering places like Salem Ch and Camp Cottaquilla. Along the eastern ridge, the Cave Mine and various Gravel Pits indicate the area's extractive resources, while numerous family-named burial sites such as Boozer Cem and McCain Cem offer vital clues for genealogical research in this part of Alabama.
