1969 Map of Poplar Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
William B Bankhead National Forest covers much of this North Alabama landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s, defined by the winding course of Clear Creek and its many tributaries. The area is characterized by scattered rural communities and remote country churches, including Old Union Ch and Pineycky Ch, which served the residents of small settlements like Poplar Springs and Ashbank. The Southern railroad line cuts through the southwestern corner near Hopewell Ch, providing a vital link for the local timber and agricultural economy. Geologic interests are noted by an Oil Well near the forest interior, while landmarks like Kaiser Bottom and Spain Ford reflect a geography shaped by family names and river crossings. This survey captures a moment of quiet persistence in Winston County before significant modern development, preserving the locations of numerous family burial grounds such as Blue Springs Cem.
