1967 Map of Jacksonville East

About this map

Choccolocco Mountain and Dugger Mountain dominate this landscape northeast of Jacksonville, where the industrial and agrarian histories of Calhoun County converge. The eastern edge of the city is visible near Eastwood High School, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the Talladega National Forest and the Choccolocco Wildlife Management Area. Transport networks of the late 1960s are clearly marked, including the junction of the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern Railway near Merrelton. Evidence of local industry and rural life appears in the numerous Gravel Pits, a Quarry, and the Cave Mine near Berry Mountain. Small communities like Holley Crossroads and Rabbittown serve as anchors for researchers tracing family history through landmarks such as Boozer Cemetery and Friendship Church.
