1969 Map of Poplar Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The William B Bankhead National Forest covers much of this North Alabama landscape, defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the larger Clear Creek and Blackwater Creek. In the late 1960s, small settlements and rural crossroads like Poplar Springs and Ashbank remained focal points for local life, connected by winding roads through the timberland. The map reveals a high density of country churches and community gathering places, including New Hope Ch, Rocky Plain Ch, and Mt Ebron Ch. Genealogists may find interest in markers like Blue Springs Cem or the Spain Ford crossing, while the presence of an Oil Well and the Southern railroad line in the southwest corner near Hopewell Ch points to the area's mixed economy of natural resource extraction and transportation.
