1963 Map of Trinity
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Trinity Mountain and Chestnut Grove Mountain dominate this mid-century portrait of the Alabama landscape west of Decatur. The topography transitions from the high ridges of the mountains down to the shoreline of Wheeler Lake, where the Southern railroad and the Joe Wheeler Highway parallel the water. Small rural communities like Trinity and Wolftown are documented alongside numerous family burial grounds, including Wimbley Cem, Lile Cem, and Sykes Cem. The map provides significant detail for those researching local genealogy or early landmarks, identifying many churches such as Dancy Chapel and Walden Chapel. Natural features are equally prominent, including San-Souci Cave and Bat Cave, while the burgeoning growth of Decatur is visible through subdivisions like Griffin Addition and the neighborhood of Moulton Heights.
