1969 Map of Trimble

About this map

The intricate shoreline of Lewis Smith Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its deep inlets reaching north into the hills of Cullman County. Following the field checks of 1969, the map reveals a countryside defined by small rural centers and numerous community landmarks. The settlement of Trimble sits at the head of Clear Creek, while further east, the rising terrain of Schmmuck Mountain overlooks Loretto. This era captures a transition in the local economy, visible where a Strip Mine and Gravel Pit appear alongside long-standing family and community sites like the Shedd Cem and Sardis Ch. The high density of churches, such as Bowman Chapel and Macedonia Freewill Ch, underscores the social fabric of these Alabama ridges before the expansion of modern infrastructure.
