1969 Map of Trimble

About this map

The complex shoreline of Lewis Smith Lake dominates this Alabama landscape, where the inundated valleys of Rock Creek, Ryan Creek, and Simpson Creek create a labyrinth of peninsulas and inlets. Established rural communities like Trimble and Loretto sit on the higher ground overlooking these waters, defined by a network of country churches and family cemeteries. The mapping captures the area's transition into a major recreational hub following the creation of the reservoir, while still documenting the older terrestrial landmarks.
