1970 Map of Lineville East

About this map

Lineville serves as the western anchor of this East Alabama landscape, where the rural topography is defined by the winding course of Crooked Creek and its many tributaries. The area reflects a deeply established community of country churches and family burial grounds, including Colemans Chapel, New Harmony Ch, and the Old Pleasant Grove Cem. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a significant path through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing through Berwick and nearing Cragford as it follows the drainage of the Tallapoosa River. Local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit near the river, while the presence of a Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal facility near Lineville indicates the mid-century modernization of this Piedmont region. This survey captures a moment when small rural settlements like Barfield remained distinct centers of local life before further regional consolidation.
