1960 Map of Oakville

About this map

Speake High School and the surrounding community of Speake serve as a central hub in this corner of Lawrence County, where small-scale farming meets the northern edge of the William B. Bankhead National Forest. The landscape is a patchwork of rural homesteads and family burial grounds, such as Stephenson Cemetery and Aldridge Grove Cemetery, which offer deep genealogical value for the area. North of the forest boundary, the terrain is defined by the winding course of West Flint Creek and its tributaries, supporting scattered settlements like Fairfield and Oakville. Local recreation and community life are highlighted by the Moulton Speedway and the nearby Drag strip, while numerous country churches, including North Grove Church and Valley Grove Church, anchor the social geography. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the elevation rises sharply into the wooded ridges of Brushy Mountain and Mull Mountain, transitioning away from the agricultural flats of the Tennessee Valley.
