1967 Map of Ross Mountain

About this map

Ross Mountain rises as a central topographic feature in this Cleburne County survey, which documents the landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s with updates into the early 1980s. The Tallapoosa River winds through the western half of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous gravel pits that underscore the local extractive industry of the era. Settlement is concentrated in small rural clusters like Arbacoochee and Belltown, with much of the northern terrain protected within the Talladega National Forest.
