1950 Map of Jones Crossroads

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Wheeler Reservoir dominates the landscape of this 1950 survey, where the Tennessee River channel carves between Limestone, Lawrence, and Morgan counties. The map captures the region's mid-century rural character, defined by family-named cemeteries and community landmarks like Mason Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Murphy Cem. The presence of Browns Ferry on the river's north bank indicates the importance of old river crossings, even as the Joe Wheeler Highway and Huntsville Road provided modernized overland access to settlements like Lawngate and Proctor. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in religious and educational sites, including Oak Grove Ch, St Lawrence Church, and the Wheeler Sch, many of which served the small communities clustered around Jones Crossroads and Beulah Land.
