1958 Map of Mount Meigs

About this map

The Tallapoosa River defines the northern reaches of this Montgomery County landscape, winding past numerous archaeological sites including several sets of Indian Mounds and Indian Mound near Hickory Bend Cem. In the late 1950s, this region east of the capital shows a transition from the military presence at Gunter Air Force Base and the VA Hospital to a rural network of farming communities and crossroads. The rail infrastructure is particularly dense here, with the Western Railway of Alabama, Seaboard Air Line, and Central of Georgia all traversing the territory. Notable social hubs include the Alabama Industrial Sch, the Woolley Country Club, and several family-named landmarks like Brassell Bottom and Perrys Mill. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds, from the Old Bingham Cem to the Wares Quarter Cem, documenting the area's deep-rooted settlement history.
