1971 Map of Russellville

About this map

Russellville serves as the focal point for this 1971 study, where the Southern Railway line cuts through the heart of the settlement alongside U.S. Highway 43. The landscape around the county seat is a complex arrangement of residential developments like Hester Heights and Woodlawn Heights juxtaposed with an active industrial footprint of numerous strip mines and gravel pits. To the north, Littleville sits at the intersection of the railway and the Old Jackson Highway, while the eastern hills are defined by Underwood Mountain and Coburn Mountain. Local life in the early 1970s is reflected in the mapping of the Twin Pines Golf Course, a drive-in theater, and several country churches like Siloam Ch. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Henson Cem, Tharp Cem, and the Knights of Pythias Cem.
