1974 Map of Town Creek

About this map

Town Creek serves as the central hub of this north Alabama landscape, situated where the Southern Railway bisects the county line between Colbert and Lawrence counties. The 1970s terrain is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and rural congregations, including Madding Cem, Dillahunty Cem, and St James Memorial Ch. Notable landmarks like Winston Quarters and Hazlewood High School anchor the local community. To the south, the topography shifts from the agricultural flats of Tupelo Bottoms toward the elevation of Round Mountain and Black Ground Mountain. This survey illustrates a post-war rural economy transitioning into a more modern infrastructure, with Town Creek winding through the center, feeding into the Big Bend as it moves toward the Tennessee River valley.
