1970 Map of Kirk

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Speeds Water Mill and a series of rural congregational hubs define the landscape of the Kirk quadrangle during the early 1970s. The terrain is deeply carved by the Sipsey River and its numerous tributaries, including Sneads Creek and Box Creek, which converge near the Pickens and Greene County line. The era's vanishing industrial footprint is visible through the Old Railroad Grade that winds through the hills, marking paths once vital for transport. Local life is centered around scattered community landmarks such as the Community Center and numerous small churches like Mars Hill Ch, Kenney Hill Ch, and Souls Chapel. The map also identifies specific family and historical sites, such as the Piney Grove Cem and a Lookout Tower, providing a detailed view of these rural Alabama townships before further modern development.
