1958 Map of Toney

About this map

Madison Crossroads and Toney anchor this late 1950s survey of the rural borderlands between Madison Co and Lincoln Co. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Limestone Creek and Brier Fork Flint River, where numerous family-named cemeteries such as Golightly Cem and Taylor Cem sit alongside established community hubs like Friendship State Line Church and Bethlehem Church. A notable piece of local history is visible in the southwest, where an Old Railroad Bed runs parallel to the modern highway through Toney, tracing an earlier era of transport before the reliance on roads like Pulaski Pike. The map illustrates a transitional period of agricultural land use, punctuated by small schoolhouses like New Sharon Sch and Toney Sch that served these distributed farming communities just south of the Tennessee-Alabama state line.
