About this map

Moulton serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, situated within the fertile Moulton Valley. The town's institutional landscape is clearly defined by the Lawrence County High school and the Moulton Municipal Cem, while the northern outskirts feature local landmarks like the drive-in theater at Muck City. To the south, the terrain shifts dramatically from valley floor to the forested uplands of the William B Bankhead National Forest.

This transition into the mountains is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and rural congregations, including Union Chapel and the Pleasant Grove Church at Wren. The ancient route of Byler Road winds through the hills toward Penitentiary Mountain and Cheatham Knob, reflecting a settlement pattern where small cemeteries like Gibson Cem and Roberts Cem are tucked away near the Tennessee Valley Wildlife Management Area.
