1957 Map of Pleasant Grove

About this map

The winding course of Cedar Creek dominates this landscape along the border of Colbert and Franklin Counties, illustrating a rural community defined by its water and woods in the late 1950s. The map reveals a network of small churches and schools that served as local hubs, including the Posey School and Pleasant Grove Ch. The inclusion of the Cedar Creek Dam and various bridges like Burgess Bridge and Thors Bridge highlights the infrastructure required to navigate this tributary system of the Tennessee Valley.
