1954 Map of Threet

About this map

Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Cypress Creek and Threet Branch, dominate this rural landscape of northern Alabama. The area is defined by a dense network of local communities and family-centered landmarks such as Threet and Cloverdale. Numerous country churches and schools serve as the anchors of these settlements, with Macedonia Ch, Little Zion Church, and Hendricks Chapel scattered across the undulating terrain. A distinctive feature of this era is the presence of the Natchez Trace Parkway, which winds through the western portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including Austin Cem, Dowdy Cem, and Paulk Cem, while the 1970s purple photorevisions highlight changes in land use, showing new fence lines and field boundaries against the established 1950s base map.
