1960 Map of Oakville

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The William B Bankhead National Forest defines the southern boundary of this Lawrence County landscape, where the northern foothills of Sand Mountain meet the drainage of the West Branch Flint Creek. This 1960 survey, updated in the mid-1970s, reveals a rural economy centered on small crossroads settlements like Speake and Oakville. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, documenting numerous family burial grounds such as Dement Cem, Pruitt Cem, and Hodges Cem, many of which are located near country houses of worship like Lebanon Ch. A significant cultural landmark is identified near the center of the sheet: an Indian mound and the adjacent Camp Indian Mound, marking an ancient presence near the headwaters of Buck Branch. Agricultural features including a race track and drag strip reflect local mid-century recreational life amidst the timber and farm tracts.
