1967 Map of Piedmont NW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Colvin Mountain dominates the central landscape of this 1960s survey, where the rolling foothills of the Appalachian range meet the rural crossroads of Calhoun Co. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural society defined by dozens of small country churches and family-named intersections such as Knightens Crossroads and Estes Crossroads. Transport and industry are anchored in the south by the parallel tracks of the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern Railway, which serve the small communities of Maxwellborn and Prices. The presence of the Webb Sch and numerous cemeteries like Littlejohn Cem suggests a landscape of long-standing family farmsteads. To the east, the edge of Piedmont begins to appear, featuring a contemporary Drive-in Theater and the local The Apostolic Doctrine Ch. The southern reaches transition into the protected lands of the Talladega National Forest and Choccolocco.
