1980 Map of Mc Calla

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Jones Valley and the surrounding ridges of the Alabama Appalachians define this 1980s landscape, illustrating a region shaped by industrial extraction and rail transport. The strip mine operations near North Johns and Black Diamond contrast with the developing residential pockets around McCalla. Transportation corridors such as the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads bisect the terrain, following the natural gaps in Rock Mountain and Red Rock Mountain Ridge. Genealogists will find several rural landmarks including Old Blue Creek Ch, McCalla Chapel, and Pine Hill Cem. The southern edge of the map features the historic grounds of Tannehill State Park, while various small settlements like Lawsontown and Lowetown appear along the valley floor. Water features like Blue Creek and Shades Creek drain the valleys, often pooled into local reservoirs like Rock Lakes.
